Records eligibility information about POPS/SOS/JOS/JOES/JON and TBM (Tiny Broadwick Memorial Women) records.
This program was voluntarily created and administered by Len Zak, POPS 460, in 1990.
Since then, there have been over 4,200 FREE Record Certificates earned and awarded.
It is now administered by Alicia Moorehead, POPS 2375, SOS 1122, the current POPS
Records Administrator, and she has provided the following information.
Additional information and organizing tips can be found on the Record Application form and elsewhere on this site.
Who is eligible to participate in record jumps?
For a POPS record to be officially recognized, each record applicant and participant must be a valid member
of POPS before the record is attempted. All members of SOS, JOS, JOES, JON must also be a member of POPS in
order to qualify for official recognition of any record set in their respective categories and must be prepared
to submit proof of said membership to the Organizer. If, when the record application is submitted, it is found
that anyone on the application is not a POPS member (or, if applicable, not a member of a sub-group) the record
shall be declared invalid.
TThe Organizer is responsible to determine membership status of all participants. If a participant cannot prove
his membership prior to the jump, the Organizer should collect the appropriate membership application and fee before
the record attempt. If it is later determined that the participant is a valid member, his application and membership
fee should be returned in full. The Organizer is encouraged to contact the TopPOP (or sub-group) for membership
verification of the expected participants.
Records may be claimed by an individual for 'most jumps in a day,' etc.
Women POPS may claim 'all women' records in all categories--see 'Records' for existing categories.
Members from any country who are current members in that country's POPS chapter are eligible to participate
in any other country's record setting event.
Additional information
- POPS (Parachutists Over Phorty Society) and SOS (Skydivers Over Sixty) records require a
minimum of 9 skydivers to establish a record.
- JOS (Jumpers Over Seventy) records require a minimum of 5 skydivers.
- JOES (Jumpers Over Eighty Society) records require a minimum of 3 skydivers.
- JON (Jumpers Over Ninety) - when established, will require no less than 2 skydivers.
For all record categories, it is permissible to combine two or more record disciplines on one jump as long as each record
is done in the sky as planed on the ground. For instance, you may complete a 9-way POPS Formation skydive, followed by a
9-way Vertical skydive, followed by a 9-way Canopy formation. All, when completed as planned and as per all other
requirements set by the POPS Record Administrator, may be accepted.
