Deuce 1 #5 December 15, 2005 Jan, that is so open to some "red-state" "blue-state" thingie I just blew cola out my nose. There is no competitive two-way manual that I'm aware of, so I'm agreeing with Dom. Two skydivers shaking hands. Or the collective strength of the red states supporting the something-something of the blue states. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought there was a collegiate two way table of formations. I did a two way comp and that is what we followed. I can't remember what that was called though. edit: I didn't see the poll. I think it is called opposed in the formations I speak of.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MakeItHappen 15 #8 December 15, 2005 Geeeezzzzz…….. Here I have a legitimate concern and all you folks can do is make fun ;) What's with that? This question came about from two mini-projects. One is my prototype scoring system and the other is getting some copies of old 4-way dive pools to a friend. So I was leafing thru my extensive formation collection and saw that that two-way formation was called 'opposed stairstep' in the USPA Comp Manual. I thought that was strange. I always called that formation an 'open accordion'. In 4-way, there has been 'open accordion', 'stairstep', 'open stairstep', 'opposed stairstep' and 'compressed stairstep'. How many of you 'new guys' know that the 'satellite' was called a 'baby tooth' back in the 'olden days'? Do you know what a 'molar' was? I am serious here. ..
