4 Way advanced just got a little more interesting.

Whoa....

DOH - Team 302, Exceed, is not eligible for a medal and is now a guest team. Apparently one of their guys competed for Israel a couple of years ago. UPDATE - It looks like Exceed has been disqualified and will get zeros for the rest of their jumps. More updates as I get them - this information is almost certainly going to need clarification. We'll see what happens

Update on teams Carolina ICE and Exceed. Carolina ICE was disqualified because their camera failed on (or just before) jump run, so they had one of the meet videographers shoot their jump. That's a big no-no, and they got caught. Exceed has been disqualified because they registered as a medal-eligible team, and it turns out that one member competed for Israel at the World Cup several years ago, another no-no. So there you have it. Those pesky rules getting in the way!

:o>:(:(

I know them, and there is no way they would have tried to sneak something like that by the judges. I'm sure it was just an oversight. How sad, I know they worked very hard for this year's Nationals.

APparently ICE had a camera failure and used a meet videographer for video. (according to omniskore).

Per Omniskore:

...after a quick peak in the inbox, about a half dozen people questioning why Carolina ICE didn't just ride the plane down and take a quick turn-around. It's a good question, and that's what I'd have done. It sounds like a case of simply not knowing the rules...why someone else in the plane didn't point that out, I don't know...

I though serious teams had 2 cameras on the vidiot's helmet for just this reason.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I too am also sad of this turn of events. I know that Alan and Baat along with Lori doing video, worked hard.

I for one am still very proud of them.

WAY TO GO EXCEED!

I feel bad for the team. They are all really great people. Lori is our camera flyer for 10-way speed. They were really doing great too. . .
