Judges!
Can't Post
Hey boys and girls! In case you haven't heard, October 5-7 Skydive City in Zephyrhills is hosting the PD Tvier Pair Swooping Competition. The very first of its kind! An entire TEAM swooping event! If you want the best seats in the house for this competition, come help us judge! We need judges especially for Friday and Saturday. If you can only do one day, that's fine. No prior experience is necessary, even non-jumpers or former jumpers can judge. PM me here or email me at missbrz@gmail.com for more details.
It's some fancy foreign word that apparently means "two" or "pair". They just thought it sounded cool What it means though, is that all of the competitors will compete and score as a two person team. So two people will be swooping for each run. Details on the different events at this comp are listed here
ETA: thanks to the mods for the sticky!

Yup! the Distance and Speed will be side by side. The Kris Kross will be swooping at the same time in opposite directions. The free style will depend on the trick they choose. It's going to be awesome!
Thank you for that explanation. But then, doesn't that mean that "tvier pair" is redundant, like saying "pair pair"? I'm confused...
yes. I put the pair in b/c most people don't know what "Tvier" means. Technically redundant but I'm ok with that.
Okay, so the official name is "Tvier Swooping", which no one will understand. So the better way of expressing it is something like "Tvier (pair) Swooping". Got it. Sheesh, why don't they just give it a name to start with that makes sense. Something like "Synchronized Swooping". Sounds cool. Sounds dangerous.

Talk to Al; it's PD's event. I didn't name it I'm just judging it and recruiting more judges for it.
It's going to be awesome! 
sorry Iceland!
