CPC Carolina District competition info

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

We in North and South Carolina already have locations and tentative dates for most of our five meets this year. They are as follows:

April 23/24: Skydive Coastal Carolinas (FINALIZED)
May 21/22: St George, SC (with their new pond!)
June 25: Chester, SC
July 30: Raeford, NC
Date TBD: Parkton, NC

We do not have Coastal Carolinas guaranteed yet, but would really love to do a meet out on the beach there. It must be noted that they have a wingload restriction on this dropzone and some potential competitors may not meet their criteria.

Smart skydivers will notice that these dates overlap those of the Carolina Skydiving League (NSL) four-way meets; this is by design. We intend to run our meets on the Sunday of those competition weekends, thereby guaranteeing a captive audience and more business for the DZO hosting those events. Likewise, if clouds are low, there is no reason we cannot conduct our meets. All of our meets will be "standard" class.

We have secured major sponsorship for our course materials and have been guaranteed plenty of prize incentive to bring the "right people" to our meets. It ought to be a fun season.

PM me if you want more info on the league

I am looking to add a similar event to the Midwest Skydiving League. Can you send me or post some details about how your competitions work?

Also look at [ url "www.canopypiloting.com" ] canopypiloting.com [/url]

That should have some details on the canopy circuit.

I don't think there's a midwest district.

Who in the NC/SC area (who meets the requirements) is planning on competing in the CPC? We'll start a list of names, and if you want PM me or SM1 w/ contact info, your local dropzone, number of jumps, canopy, etc.. I promise with what Chuck has gotten secured as the sponsor, we're going to have some awesome meets.

While I won't be doing the NC circuit (got the GA one here), I will be attending at least one of your meets. Right now I'm playing with my schedule for the year to figure out which one it'll be.

See ya there Dave

Yearly dues to the CPC are $50 and will be collected at the first meet. As a result of me not wanting to fleece anybody, any prize money for that first meet will be donated by sponsors if I can get any to donate.

[DaGimp 0]

will we be swoopin the beach at the first meet??

[Conquest150 0]

the meet for coastal is on the last weekend of april, which i believe to be the 23rd, 24th.

[DaGimp 0]

question, i understand that the meet is running in conjunction with the CaSL as far as DZs and weekends....but will someone (like myself) be able to compete in both? or will they be running at the same time?



fuk it...ill just swoop it with my camera helmet on

"Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas

[koz2000 1]

The CaSL should be over on Sat and the CPC will start on Sun, We'll have a meeting Sat night to cover rules etc.. before each meet. Soooo yes you can compete in both.

April 23/24 at Skydive Coastal Carolinas is still the date we are trying to hammer down for our first meet, people. The course markers are paid for and will be delivered in time for the meet. Looks like Lyle Presse is going to help us out with setup and judging this first time. We are trying to make this one a beach meet on Sunday the 24th.

Details about costs are pretty much the same as all the other leagues. Fifty dollars CPC membership plus jumps for the first meet. I will try and score some prize money from other sources than membership. Both Dave and I have been very busy at our "real" jobs, so that's what the information vaccum has been about. More later.

Well after much delay, I am officially announcing the first meet for the Carolina District will in fact be run next weekend (April 23/24) at Skydive Coastal Carolinas. Official practice will be all day Saturday the 23rd, competition seminar will be Saturday evening after the four-way meet, and the meet will commence promptly first thing Sunday morning. Six rounds: two carving speed, two distance, two zone accuracy. Lyle Presse will be up here delivering our course markers and assisting in running the meet.

Just like every other CPC league, there is a $50 league fee that must be paid. I am not going to charge anything other than the price of jumps for this meet and there is not going to be much of a prize for the winner. This will be the first of five meets this year though, so if you intend on placing in the league you need to be there.

More later,

Chuck

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

This meet is finalized. Lyle will be there first thing Saturday morning setting up two practice courses for competitors wanting to practice and those considering competing. Lyle will be instrumental in helping Dave and I get this first meet conducted properly. Volunteers are still needed for the day of the meet.

*****BUMP*****

The weekend is almost here!! Make plans to be in Southport, NC this weekend for the first of 5 competitions.

Dinner available Saturday night on the DZ.

Amazingly, the three week contract I was due to start today fell through. That means I will actually be present for my own first meet! See you all there.

Chuck

Well, we were totally winded out for the entire weekend so there was no competition. Rain date for this event will be at The Cinco De Mayo Boogie at Chester, SC (Skydive Carolina) unless Danny won't let me run it then.

On a positive note, Lyle showed up with our brand new course (20 IPC/PST markers) and we got to practice assembling the parts and putting up a course. Lyle and I ran an "intro to competition canopy piloting" seminar which drew quite a crowd on Saturday afternoon after the day was called for wind.

Skydive Coastal Carolinas is a beautiful dropzone. Great new building, nice landing area, beautiful view of the ocean and the intracoastal waterway. Hopefully we can put something together down there on the beach in the near future.

yea it sucked about the wind. that seminar was great, i learned quite a bit from it and some of the other locals were talking about it all night about how much they learned. it would definately be great to get something going again down there and i think it would be awesome to do it on the beach.

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

Lyle and I drove over to your normal beach landing area near the pier and checked it out for a possible site of a future meet. While it's a bit narrow, even at low tide, we thought that all three classic events could be run there.

Chuck

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

Unfortunately, neither Dave nor I can make it to the Cinco de Mayo boogie in Chester due to "real" work commitments, so we are going back to plan "A" and will be running the first round of the Carolina CPC at St George on the weekend of 21/22 May. Hope to see a good crowd there.

St. George, South Carolina

I am going to talk to Jack about maybe flying some hop-n-pop loads on that friday before, for anyone that may want to come get used to our "tight","little" ......DZ. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Live today as tomorrow may not come

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

The meet is ON this weekend in St. George, so drag your butts over there and compete! I am sending the course materials down there in the plane we are sending (Dog House/Barney).
