rehmwa 2 #202 August 8, 2006 QuoteJan, thanks for the combined sheet as it is cool to look at. I was looking at the top 2 womens teams at almost 20 avg and they are at 8 and 9 overall. That is outstanding and an argument that the Womens division really is not needed since Women seem pretty damn able to kick teams arses! Also of the teams ahead of them, how many have a woman on it, including the #1 team......... but the 20 ave goal is a full meet average point, not two jumps where one has 4 randoms in it. but, like you, I'm confident it'll happen someday - and the argument that they would still fit in the top 10 team is a better argument anyway that video site is too crowded, I haven't seen a dive yet - maybe tonight...... ...

I agree on the 20 average as they are lower on the past scores that I can dig up with smaller round meets. From Skyleague for airkix an average of about 16 with some Swothwest league meets of 6 rounds and in 2 8 round meets the French women averaged 18 pts. The big thing as I see it is if 2 of the top 10 teams remain as women only and a number of the top teams have a woman on it: Fire, Sinapsi, Arcteryx.. that is a pretty good indicator that there is some level of equity available in terms of ability..

bbarnhouse 0 #205 August 9, 2006 Wowza! 4 way is just finishing round 4 and Fire seems to be in first. 4-way womens USA has moved up in rank to 3rd behind Great Britan and France after round 3. Round 4 is currently in progress. 8-way...France is up by 5 followed by USA and Russia. The AE group seems to be having a slow time of it. Some are just now completing round 2.

GQ_jumper 4 #214 August 9, 2006 Betsy is right, Airspeed has pulled it out from behind before, I wouldn't count them out yet. But this is probably the most well prepared team they've encountered in a long time. I'm still holdin out for my boys, and gal I also wanted to say thanks to Betsy for keepin me updated with as busy as she's been back home, I'm in Florida for work and unfortunately have little to no net accessHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Or maybe there was a re-jump and they got a 21 on the re-jump but the 1st video is still posted? The video gets real ugly due to clouds/moisture I watched the video and saw about 17 points, not 21. But there was some clouds, so they could have gotten a rejump. Skyleague shows 21 points, Omniskore shows 17, WM site says 21...But nothing official from the FAI. Last I remember you were not allowed to score more on a rejump than you scored on the first jump. I could be off, but I thought that was how it worked. Edit...I checked the rules: 5.9. Rejumps. In each case of a jump where part of the Team's performance is not judgeable due to lack of video evidence, the freefall video equipment will be handed directly to the VRP for assessing the conditions and circumstances of that occurrence. 5.9.1. In the case that the VRP determines that there has been an intentional abuse of the rules by the Team, a rejump will not be granted and the Team will receive the minimum score. 5.9.2. In the case that the VRP determines that the responsibility of providing the video evidence has not been met, the Team will be given the following options: · To score the video evidence available. · To accept a rejump, in which case a penalty of 2 points will be deducted in determining the final score.
