Remarks:
The content of this edition of CISM Parachuting Regulations was prepared by CPC during
45th WMPC 2022 in Güssing (Austria) and presented to all nations at enlarged CPC
meeting. Changes were made in Formation Skydiving with 2 blocks replaced.
These regulations apply equally to both genders. Unless specifically stated, any reference
to one gender (e.g. he) includes a reference to all other gender (e.g. she)
This edition of Parachuting Regulations- final 2023 is valid from 01 January 2023 for all
CISM parachuting competitions until further notice and will be published at CISM website.
INTRODUCTION
Leonardo da Vinci, universal genius of the Renaissance, anticipated in a drawing the principle and the
design elements of the parachute. In 1617 a jump was attempted in Italy from a tower. The first jump from
the air is registered in France during the year 1797.
During World War I. the parachute was introduced as a safety device for fighter pilots. In World War II
became a form of transport for vertical infiltration and commando missions; parachute units often conducted
strategic and operational actions: Crete and "Market Garden" are military history.
After 1945 the parachute became a sport tool, originating fascinating new sports which attract young people
while military operational use was maintained and improved.
A parachute competitor demonstrates his skills in free fall and under open canopy, individually or in a team.
Skills used in free fall are instinctive body control with deep concentration, then after opening sure steering
in a three-dimensional environment until making a precise landing. Other skills are the ability to take risks,
mental strength, and the capability to integrate socially and to think as a team. All these qualities are
growing even more important for soldiers and are strengthened by the parachuting schooling and sport
training.
Formation skydiving, style and accuracy are the events at our championships, which provide the opportunity
for our soldiers and parachutists to compare their skills and reflect the military virtues of teamwork, speed
and precision combined in the overall classification.
1964 the first Parachuting Military World Championship of C.I.S.M. was organized in Pau at the French
military parachute school. In 1983 female classifications were introduced. Until 2021 we saw 44 World
Military Parachuting Championships, and in the recent years, up to 40 nations have participated.
Since 1992 we also have the option for Military Parachuting Continental Championships.
The present rules are created with the main aim to further develop and strengthen parachuting as a military
sport in C.I.S.M. and to cover all Military Parachuting Championships.

1.2. EVENTS
1.3. COMPETITORS
order to be considered for team accuracy and team overall scoring. However, members of
incomplete teams at the beginning of the competition may participate in the individual style and
accuracy events.
A team finding itself reduced to less than four (4) members during the championship will receive
the maximum (minimum) result for each missing score.
1.3.3. Junior classification and CISM junior records
• A junior competitor is a person under the age of 24 or whose 24th birthday occurs during
the calendar year in which the competition takes place.
• The junior classification will be extracted from the general ranking (so a competitor can
win the title in both rankings - general male or female and junior male or female).
• Junior titles and medals will be given in Individual Accuracy, Style and Individual Overall,
but the minimum number of participants must be in accordance with the CISM General
Rules (CISM Reg. 8.30.) For individual overall calculation a new ranking list with only
juniors will be established.
• CISM junior records can be established in accuracy (10.2) and style (10.4)
1.3.4. No official women’s competition
When no official women's competition is declared, a nation's team may be composed of both men
and women.
If the minimum number of participating female juniors for awarding a gold medal in accuracy
and/or style is not reached at preliminary registration (CISM Reg. 8.30.) the junior classification
incl. junior overall will be mixed and calculated from the number of rounds completed by all
juniors. If the number drops at a later date than preliminary registration, the FAI rule 4.10 (2) with
winner instead of champion title will be applied.
Doping is strictly forbidden in CISM. Doping controls will be carried out during Military World
Games and World Military Parachuting Championship in accordance with CISM Anti-Doping
Rules and CISM test distribution plan (TDP). For CISM parachuting records see 10.6
2. COMPETENT AUTHORITIES
2.1. OFFICIAL C.I.S.M. REPRESENTATIVE
The official CISM Representative (OCR) represents CISM at a WMPC and chairs the Jury of
Appeal and the Anti-Doping Commission.
Each country participating with a team must nominate one judge with an international license
(CISM and/or FAI) in at least 2 categories (AS/ AF/ SF/ or ASF). Any exception must be approved
by the CPC President.
In addition, countries only participating with individual competitors may nominate a qualified
judge.
FAI judges must be qualified to judge at a FAI 1st category event.
The name of the Judge appointed by the nation must be specified in the Preliminary Agreement to
the WMPC, a Preliminary Agreement form without a valid judge is not valid and will be rejected by
the Organizing Committee.
The Chief Judge appoints the Event judges as soon as possible; at latest shortly after the final
entry date.
3. ORGANIZATION OF CHAMPIONSHIPS
3.1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.1.1. Schedule
A World Military Parachuting Championship will be organized every year and shall be planned at
least two years in advance (CISM Reg. 7.17).
3.2. TECHNICAL ARRANGEMENTS
3.3. PARTICIPATION
3.5.1. Interpreters
The organizer will ensure, if necessary, the services of English interpreters. The interpreters must
know the technical terms used in sport parachuting.
3.5.2. Preliminary meeting (CISM Reg. 8. 28 A)
The chairman of the organizing committee holds a preliminary meeting before the beginning of
the competition. During this meeting the draw of lots will be published (starting list, programs of
Style and FS).
3.5.3. Meeting of team leaders
Meetings of Team Leaders are called as directed by the Meet Director. The purpose of these
meetings is to exchange information related to the competition between the Meet Director, the
Chief Judge and the Team Leaders.
3.5.4. Duties and rights of team leaders
Team leaders must be familiar with these rules and communicate all information from the Meet
Director, the College of judges and from the Jury of appeal to the members of their teams.
They will attend to the preliminary meeting and to every called team leaders meetings, if a team
leader is not attending a called meeting, he will receive a warning and if he is missing several
times his Chief of Mission will be informed (see Annex 2, B.1. 11.3.4).
They are responsible for the timely arrival of their team at the aircraft loading point.
With the advice of a physician, they decide whether an injured team member may continue the
competition.
They may obtain information from the Chief Judge, his assistant or the Event Judge, concerning
their decisions on rejump etc. for their competitors.
They may examine the score sheets of their competitors.
3.6. CONCLUSION
4. JUMPING AT CHAMPIONSHIPS
4.1. DEFINITIONS
4.1.1. Round:
A round is the completion, of one jump of the same kind by all competitors (qualified for this
round).
4.1.2. Event:
An event comprises the total of the rounds included in the competition and, solely for the
purposes of registering a protest, includes the training round referred to in 4.2.4.
4.1.3. Team:
The competitors jumping together in an event.
4.2.1. Jump
A jump starts at the moment the parachutist leaves the aircraft.
4.2.2. Aircraft
Jumps may be made from any kind of aircraft; in FS the type of aircraft and the type of exit door to
be used (i.e. side door – right or left - or ramp door) has to be announced by the organizer on the
invitation to the championships.
4.2.3. Ground wind
A. Maximum wind speed in accuracy
The maximum wind speed at ground level in the accuracy events is 7m/s. Competitors
who land while the wind exceeds this limit and for a period of 30 seconds after the wind
has returned below the limit are offered to accept the result or to execute a rejump.
A rejump will also be offered to competitors landing within 15 seconds before the time the
wind exceeded the 7 m/sec limit. They have to decide immediately, after they are offered
the score/rejump, otherwise they have to execute the rejump. The opportunity of a
rejump, in the above case, will not be given to competitors having scored 0 cm.
If the ground wind speed exceeds 9 m/sec, the jumping must stop. Jumping will resume
after the wind has returned below the limit for a period of 5 minutes. In accuracy, in case
a team jumped during this period ( e.g. there was not time enough for the organization to
stop the jumping), the whole team will be waved away from the target by the judges and
granted a rejump.
B. Maximum Wind Speed in Style and FS
The maximum wind speed for Style and FS is 11m/s. Jumping must stop while the wind
exceeds this limit and for a period of 5 minutes after the wind has returned below the limit.
Any jump that was made in the period (e.g. if there was not time enough for the
organization to stop the jumping) will be valid and the wind speed is no ground for
rejumps.
C. Lowering the wind speed
For safety reasons the Meet Director of the Championship with the agreement of the CJ
has the authority to lower the given wind speeds (e.g. due to obstacles near the DZ).
However, in such a case, this decision must be applied to an entire round.
If there is insufficient time to finish the entire program, he can decide to begin the semi-
final or final round earlier in one or more events and tie break decisions in overall may be
made during the last round of one event. Such a decision needs the approval of the CPC
President and Chief Judge.
B. Order of Events
The Meet Director is the sole authority to decide the order of events at any given time. He
must, however, consider any pending protests that may affect his decision.
C. Simultaneous Events
In order to facilitate timely completion, or if the weather requires it, the Meet Director may
decide to run two separate events simultaneously. The same event for men and women
is considered a separate event for this purpose.
4.2.7. Flight or traffic pattern
A. Traffic patterns
The basic flight or traffic patterns will be established by joint agreement of the pilots, Meet
Director and Chief Judge in accordance with necessary competition requirements.
B. Safety
The interests of safety will be maintained at all time.
4.2.8. Calling the competitors
A. Calls
After each jump competitors will be allowed a minimum time of 30 minutes between the
arrival at the drop zone where the manifest is located and when they leave the manifest
to board the aircraft except for FS event where the time is 45 minutes. These 30/45
minutes are not required for the first jump of the day.
Competitors will be called to the manifest twice, first call about 15 minutes and second
call 5 minutes before their expected departure from the manifest. If they do not arrive at
the manifest in time they will receive the maximum or minimum score (as appropriate) for
that jump.
B. Terms to be used
The following terms will be used by the Meet Director for advising and controlling the
movement of competitors during the competition:
STANDBY. Competitors must be present on the competition site and may be called as
per 4.2.8 A at any time.
RELEASED. Competitors do not have to be on the competition site. This instruction must
be accompanied by a time at which STANDBY status will recommence.
4.2.9. Other persons on board or in the air
A. Other persons aboard
If another person (e.g. television cameraman or photographer etc.) wishes to board the
aircraft, the agreement of the Meet Director must be obtained.
B. Jumping cameraman or photographer
If a cameraman or photographer intends to exit with a jumper or a team, the collective
permission of the jumper or Team Leader concerned, the Meet Director and the Chief
Judge must be obtained.
4.2.10. Ground to air communications
A. Radios
Communication between the Meet Director or the judges on the ground and the pilot/
competitors on board of the aircraft will be by two-way radio.
B. Instruction given to teams/competitors
Disregard of the instructions passed to the team or competitor by the pilots or judge on
board will result in the maximum or minimum score (as appropriate) for that jump.
5. ACCURACY
5.1. GENERAL RULES
5.1.1. Abbreviations
• AMD : Automatic Measuring Device (i.e. electronic pad)
• DCD : Dead Centre Disc
5.1.2. Definitions
Accuracy: individual competitors or teams attempt to land on, or as close as possible to the center
of a target.
5.1.3. Landing point - definition
The landing point is the first point of contact with the surface or the AMD. The Competitor is
responsible to present clearly the first contact with the target to the judges.
5.1.4. Program
A. Team Accuracy consists of 8 rounds, plus one semi-final and one final round.
B. Individual accuracy consists of 8 rounds.
C. Rounds
• After the first competition round 4.2.13 may be applied.
• Eight (8) rounds for all teams and individuals. All rounds count for individual and
team scoring. A minimum of two (2) rounds is required to validate the event.
• After the second round competitors having obtained a total score of more than 37
cm (pts) will have no access to the 3rd round and will receive a score of 19 cm for
the remaining rounds in the accuracy event.
• After the fourth round all the individuals scoring a total of more than 63 cm will not
have access to the following (5th) round and will receive a score of 19 cm for the
remaining rounds in the accuracy event.
• [Remark: The 19 cm score also applies to the semi- and final round in team score if
access for a team member after 2/4 rounds is denied]
D. Team semi-final and final rounds
After completion of the eight rounds, the best 50% of the teams (minimum 8 teams) will
make a ninth round (semi-final) and then the best 50% (minimum 4 teams) after the semi-
final will make a tenth round (final).
5.1.5. Target Area
A. AMD position and capabilities
An AMD with a Dead Centre Disc (DCD) is positioned in the center of the target area.
The DCD must be of a contrasting color and have a diameter of 2 cm. The AMD will be
kept as flat as possible and must be capable of measuring to a minimum distance of 16
cm from the edge of the DCD in increments of not more than 1 cm.
It is possible to mount the AMD centrally on a control pad of at least 1.2 m diameter that,
when struck, scores 16 (or preferable 17) at all points. The CJ and/or EJ may decide to
discontinue the use of this control pad for any pertinent reason.
The electronic system (AMD, control pad and anemometer) which is used for a WMPC
must be tested at a previous international championship and must be approved by CPC.
B. Tuffet
The AMD and the underlying pad are placed centrally on a tuffet which has to be
acceptable to the CJ and should have the following approximate specifications:
Diameter : 5m
Thickness : 30 cm
C. Target Markers
The target must have a clearly marked circle with a radius of 20 m centered on the DCD.
5.2.1. Altitude
The jumps will be performed at 1000 m above ground level and at only one pass of the aircraft for
the five competitors of the same team.
A. Lowering the altitude
If weather conditions do not allow a ceiling of 1000 m, the pilot can lower the jumping
altitude to 900 m during a round.
B. Individual jump altitude
The jump altitude for individual jumps is 800m.
5.2.2. Exit point
Each team or competitor selects his own exit point.
5.2.3. Winds aloft
If the Event Judge decides that winds aloft prevent a team or a competitor of the team from
making a reasonably accurate approach to the target, in spite of having exited at the presumed
correct point, he must interrupt the event and the competitors concerned will rejump; a new wind
drift indicator drop will be made before the event may continue.
If he decides that there is no such change, his decision is no reason for a protest.
5.3.1. Judging
The landing point is the first point of contact with the surface as decided by the judges according
to 5.3.5.
Landing is measured up to 16 cm (pts) by the AMD; landing on the control pad will give the score
of 17 cm (pts); landing on the tuffet (outside the control pad) will give the measure of 18 cm (pts);
landing outside of the tuffet will give the score of 19 cm (pts).

6. STYLE RULES
6.1. GENERAL RULES
6.1.1. Definitions
A. Maneuver
A turn or loop starting and finishing in the horizontal face down position with the head
towards the target. The shoulders must remain in a horizontal plane at all times.
B. Freefall Style:
Individuals perform a series of six maneuvers in free fall, which are prescribed in these
rules.
C. Turn:
A maneuver of a 360-degrees rotation in the horizontal plane.
D. Backloop:
A maneuver of a 360-degrees rotation in a vertical plane.
E. Drift
Lateral movement of the jumper away from the target heading after the jumper has

6.1.2. Program of jumps
A. Number of jumps
The event totals five (5) style rounds, including the final round. A minimum of one (1)
round is required to validate the event.
B. Qualifying for following rounds
A competitor who scores 9 sec or more, for women: 11 sec or more, including penalties,
in the first jump is not qualified for the following rounds; he is classified in the fifth and last
part of the ranking list.
A competitor who scores a total of 17 sec or more, for women: 20 sec or more, including
penalties, after the second jump is not qualified for the third round; he is classified in the
fourth part of the ranking list. The minimum number for entry to second and third round is
the same as semi-final (min. 16).
C. Entry for semi-final
After completion of the three rounds, the best 50% (minimum 16) of the remaining
competitors will execute the semi-final. They will be classified in the second part of the
ranking list; the competitors excluded from the fourth round are classified in the third part
of the ranking list.
D. Entry for final
After completion of the semi-final, 50% (minimum 8) will execute the final. They will be
classified in the first part of the ranking list.
E. Program Order
The order of programs for the four rounds will be determined by a random draw during
the preliminary meeting from the following four series:
1. 1st Series 2. 2nd Series 3. 3rd Series 4. 4th Series
left turn right turn left turn right turn
right turn left turn right turn left turn
back loop back loop back loop back loop
left turn right turn right turn left turn
right turn left turn left turn right turn
back loop back loop back loop back loop
The series of the final will be chosen by the competitor based on the described series.
6.2.1. Altitude
Jumps are executed at an altitude of 2200 m above ground level. If weather conditions do not
allow a ceiling of 2200 m, the Meet Director, in agreement with the Chief Judge, can lower the
jump altitude to 2000 m minimum for a whole round.
6.2.2. Control of the exit
One Observing Judge monitors the flight direction and the exit point and observes the wind
conditions.
The competitor will receive a “stand by” command and the “exit” command. Details of the actual
signs indicating “stand by” and “exit” will be given at the preliminary meeting (3.5.2).
6.2.3. Wind observation
There will be a responsible person at the anemometer who will immediately inform the Camera
and Observing Judge if the wind speed exceeds the prescribed limit (4.2.3.B).
6.2.4. Target
The target must be clearly visible from the air and be approximately 200 m2 in size. The Event
Judge must accept its shape and color.
6.2.5. Jump run
The direction of flight to be followed by the aircraft will be indicated by radio. The launch axis thus
determined must coincide with the average wind direction. Launching may be executed up-wind
or down-wind. If the loading capacity of the aircraft allows it, a judge will be placed in the aircraft.
This judge or the pilot is responsible to check the above rules and to transmit the “stand by” and
"exit" commands to the competitor.
6.2.6. Exit procedure
A. Exit point
The exit point will be specified by the cameraman and controlled by the judges. In order
to ensure that all competitors are judged at approximately the same angle, the
competitors must leave the aircraft immediately (max. 3 seconds) on the exit command.
Competitors who disregard this command will not be granted a rejump, should they not
be recorded on the video.
B. Target heading
The target heading must be directly downwind or directly upwind. The choice of direction,
downwind or upwind, is made by the cameraman observed by an Observing Judge.
Competitors are to be made aware of any change at the earliest opportunity. Those
airborne must be notified before the aircraft begins a run in on the new heading.
6.3. SCORING-JUDGING
B. Overshoots
1 - 180 degrees no penalty
greater than 180 degrees 16.0 sec
D. Deviations (D): execution of turns or backloops with the body tilted or banked (pitch or
roll) or,
E. Backloop,
Completed before reaching the horizontal level (-) or,
Continued after passing the horizontal level (+) :

7. FORMATION SKYDIVING
7.1. GENERAL RULES
7.1.1. Definitions
A. Formation: consists of jumpers linked by grips.
B. Team: includes four men or women and the freefall videographer 3.3.1 D, but the Team
Captain may, at any time, replace one member of the team by the fifth competitor of his
mission.
C. Grip: consists of a hand hold on an arm or leg of another jumper as shown in diagram
11.2.3 As a minimum, a grip requires stationary contact
D. Dive pool: consists of the random formations depicted in 11.2.1. and the blocks which must
be performed as depicted in 11.2.2.
E. Inter: is an intermediate requirement within a block sequence which must be performed as
depicted in the dive pools.
F. Sub-group:
Is the individual jumper, or linked jumpers, required to complete a designated maneuver
during the inter of a block. Where sub-groups are shown, they must remain intact as a
sub-group with only the depicted grips on other jumpers, from the break of the previous
formation in the block until the correct completion of the second formation in the block.
Where sub-group turns are indicated, the sub-group(s) must continue turning in the
direction of the arrow until it is possible for the sub-group to link together to complete the
next designated scoring formation. Where degrees of turn are shown (180°, 270°, 360°,
540°), this indicates the approximate degrees and direction of turn required to complete
the inter as intended. The degrees shown are approximately that amount of the
circumference of the subgroup’s centerpoint to be presented(s) of the other subgroup(s). A
subgroup’s centerpoint is one of the following:
• the defined grip or the geometric center of the defined grips within a subgroup
within linked jumpers,
• the geometric center of an individual torso.
Contacts or grips are permitted between sub-groups during the inter of the block
sequence, but within each sub-group, jumpers must remain intact as a sub-group with only
the designed grips on other jumpers. Assisting handholds on other jumpers or their
equipment within a subgroup or a scoring formation are not permitted.
Handholds by the jumper on their own body or equipment within a subgroup or a scoring
formation are permitted.
G. Sequence: is a series of random formations and blocks which are designated to be
performed on a jump.
H. Working time:
the period of time during which teams are scored on a jump.
Working time starts:
• at the moment of the first visible separation of a grip from the first star, or
• five seconds after any team member, other than the cameraman, separates from the
aircraft, as determined by the judges, whichever comes first.
• If the first separation is not on the recording, the working time begins at the exit from
the aircraft.
Working time terminates a number of seconds later as specified in paragraph 7.2.1.
I. Total separation: is when all team members show, at one point in time, they have released
all their grips and no part of their arms have contact with another body. In sequences, total
separation is required between random formations, and between whole block and random
formations.
J. Scoring formation: as depicted in the dive pool, a scoring formation is a formation which is
correctly completed and clearly presented either as a random formation or within a block,
and which, apart from the first formation after exit, must be preceded by a correctly
random random
block 1
random
block 2
random
block 3
random random
Teams will be given not less than two hours knowledge of the results of the draw before
the FS competition starts.
F. Competitors are not allowed to use a wind tunnel (free fall simulator) after the draw has
been made.

End of working time //
NV is used when formations, inters, or total separations are not visible on the screen due to
meteorological conditions or factors relating to cameraman’s video equipment that can not be
controlled.
7.3.3. Scoring
An approved electronic scoring system will be used to score each jump
A. Points:
A team will score one point for each scoring formation performed in the sequence within
the allotted working time of each round. Teams may continue scoring by continually
repeating the sequence.
B. A majority of judges must agree in the evaluation in order to:
• credit the scoring formation, or
• assign an omission, or
• determine an NV situation.
C. For each omission three points will be deducted. If both the inter and the second formation
in a block are omitted, this will be considered as only one omission. The minimum score
for any round is zero points.
D. If an infringement in the initial formation of a block is carried into the inter, this will be
considered as one infringement only, provided that the intent of the inter requirements for
the next formation is clearly presented and no other infringement occurs in the inter.
E. Absolute incorrect assessment
After viewings are completed, if the CJ, EJ or any judge on the panel considers that an
absolute incorrect assessment has occurred, and has been missed by the judges, they
will be asked to review the circumstance and if a majority of them agree that an absolute
incorrect assessment occurred, they will be allowed to change their evaluation.
F. Collection of score sheets
The score sheets of all judges must be collected immediately after the judges have
scored the jump, for collation by the scoring section. The results of the collation will be
checked by at least one judge.
G. Manual Scoring
In the event that Electronic Scoring cannot be used, it is possible to manually score the
jumps using Chronometers and Score Sheets. (see 7.3.2.C.)
7.4. REJUMPS
Contact, or other means of interference, between competitors in a team and/or their freefall
cameraman will not be grounds for the team to request a rejump.
7.4.2. NV situation
If the video evidence is considered insufficient for judging purposes, the CJ, with the EJ, will
assess the video evidence and circumstances surrounding the occurrence to determine if the NV
criteria have been met (see 7.3.2.C ).
The team has the choice of accepting the score of the jump or making a rejump. The decision
must be made immediately after the rejump is offered.
If the criteria are not met, no rejump will be granted. If the NV criteria are/have been met, the CJ &
EJ will also assess the circumstances to determine if there has been an intentional abuse of the
rules by the team. If it is determined that an intentional abuse of the rules has occurred, no rejump
will be granted.
7.4.3. Weather conditions
Adverse weather conditions during a jump are no grounds for protest. However, a rejump may be
granted due to adverse weather conditions at the discretion of the Chief Judge and the Event
Judge.
7.5.1. Standings
Standings are obtained by adding the scores of the team on each of the jumps. The team with the
highest score will be "(year) World Military Parachuting Champion in formation skydiving".
7.5.2. Tie in FS
In case of a tie for first, second or third place, the teams concerned will execute supplementary
jumps, drawn according with 7.1.2.E until the tie is broken. If for weather or time reasons a jump
cannot be made, the following rules will be applied. In case of a further tie, the team having
obtained the best score in one round, then in another round and so on will be the winner. In case
of a still further tie, the teams will remain tied.
7.5.3. If one round is not completed by the end of the competition due to time or weather constraints,
but the competitors that have not jumped would not influence any podium classification (1st , 2nd,
3rd places), the round will be considered valid for the medal classification.
8. OVERALL
8.1. INDIVIDUAL OVERALL
A. Individual overall
The individual overall score is separated for men and women.
B. Individual Overall calculation
It is obtained by adding the final rankings in the individual accuracy and style events.
A new classification in accuracy will be calculated by eliminating competitors not taking
part in the style event and vice versa.
C. Overall winner
The competitor with the lowest score will be "(year) World Military Parachuting Champion
in Individual Overall ".
D. Eligibility for the Individual Overall
In order to participate in individual overall, a competitor must participate in both events.
E. Tie in individual overall
In case of a tie for first, second or third place, the competitors concerned must execute
supplementary jumps until the tie is broken. If weather and technical conditions permit, the
type of jump is drawn between Accuracy and Style (series drawn as 6.1.2.E)
If weather or technical condition allow to do only one of the two events, jumps of this type
are to be done at the earlies opportunity until the tie is broken or competition time is over.
If due to weather or time constraints jumps cannot be made, the individual with the best
ranking in one event will be the winner, in case of a further tie the individual with the better
ranking in individual accuracy will be the winner, otherwise they will remain tied.
Example:
style:
1st competitor ranks 4th place
2nd competitor ranks 9th place
3rd competitor ranks 11th place
4th competitor ranks 12th place
(5th competitor ranks 14th place)
---------------------------------
total 36 points, ranking 1st place
team overall
style 1 point
team accuracy 4 points
formation skydiving 5 points
-----------------------------------
total 10 points, ranking 1st place in team overall
8.2.2. Team overall winner
