Yep. 2-way will definitely be an event at Nationals this year. I haven't seen the official rules anywhere yet however. I heard that there would be a video pool for the 2-way event as well.

There is some information at:

The event is being held at the World Cup at Eloy in 2005. Expect it to be included in most National Competitions thereafter.

Stay Safe - Have Fun - Good Luck

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

MaryLou sent me the rules that will be used (taken from the IPC

2-Way Sequential Event:

Each round consists of a repeatable sequence drawn from the dive pool.

Exit altitude shall be 1850 m (~6,000 ft) AGL with a working time of 60 seconds.

The draw of the sequences: Each round consists of 5 points that have been drawn from the dive pool of 6 formations. When a formation is drawn, it will be immediately returned to the dive pool so that it may be drawn again.

Scoring: The working time and scoring begins with the first 2-way formation whether correct or not, or 30 seconds after exit of the first team member, excluding the team’s videographer, whichever is first. Teams will be awarded one point for the first formation and each subsequent formation correctly completed within the working time. Teams will not be awarded points for incorrect formations. There will be no penalty.

Omissions: Omission of a formation will stop the scoring at that formation. The next formation to score is the second correctly completed formation following the last omission. Scoring may also continue if the team goes back to correctly complete the omitted formation or incorrect formation.

Each formation must be performed in accordance with the illustrations in the drawn sequence. Jumper position for each random is set by the draw, i.e. the dark canopy position on the first formation built within a round must remain in the dark canopy position on all subsequent formations of that round. There must be complete separation between each formation. No mirror formations are allowed. All formations shall be performed as shown in the dive pool, as seen from behind.

In addition, it is believed that Alan Gutshall , Jon Sikorsky or Chuck Backus will sweep the event.
They are accepting pre-event donations in the form of $100 wagers from all competitors. If you or anyone else would like to contribute please do so. Contributions (wagereing) are not being limited to $100 for those of you that have increased confidence. It is hoped that the great organizers of our sport will compete and therefore be afforded the opportuinity to also contribute as they have taken-in sizeable funds from the community already and should have adequate financial reserves.
