QuoteOh and you should be able to finish ahead of Peter and Adam since they wouldn't be showing up for their first jumps until some time after noon.
To keep it as real as possible, all IronBASE competitors will be required to drink until they vomit beginning at 11pm the night before the competition.

No.
Hell YES!
If we include a good swimming segment (say, you have to swim back to centennial park after every jump) I stand a good chance of being crowned "World's Best BASE Jumper" on the strength of my swimming skills.
It's all about stacking the competition to your own strengths, baby.
Can we throw in an elevator hot-wiring event, too?
QuoteAerials...You must give extra points for aerials...
A wise(ass) man once said, "Aerials are so 90's."
Abbie, i'd definitely be up for it. And when you factor in all the swimming i'll inevitably be doing, even YOU could beat me! I think making it a charity event would be great. We can always stand to do a little brown-nosing toward the good people of TF... especially now that they have to live with you on a full-time basis.
For real though, my money is on Baxter. That man climbs like a mountain goat on crack. Just don't get stuck behind him on a Huevos Rancheros morning.

Thanks for the plug Brandy!
We do need a rule about weather. I.e. an 'official' weather person to make a 'competition on' or 'competition off' decision both before an during the event so the winner is not the person who jumps in the worst conditions if winds pick up and half the competitors decide not to jump.
Just my $.02

Problem is if I don't dope myself, Maggot is going to tear me apart! Or maybe I just drop some LSD in his coffee before the competition; that'll make it for an interesting day!
Few more rules...
Landing target. This serves three purposes: accuracy under canopy, avoiding landing close to the base of the climb out, and everyone will start the climb-out from the same location.
Swoop should be considered not in term of "distance"(pain in the ass to set up the gates, measuring distance and such) but more in term of hook turns (front risers only), let say a 90 will subtract you 1 minute, a 180 2 minutes, and so forth.
Aerials...You must give extra points for aerials...
So you can have: aerial -1min (3 gainers = -3 min), on heading opening -1, 90 swoop -1, hitting the target -1, stand up -1, and so forth.
Here is how it could work. You made 20 jumps. The average climb-out is 10 minutes/jump without any points. You have -30 minutes in stuff so that equals to 3 extra jumps hence the grand total is 23 jumps.
