skydivexxl 0 #1 October 30, 2006 Thanks to all who came out and competed! We had twelve pilots in all, five flying crossbraced and seven flying 9 cell. We ran 2 rounds each of speed, distance and accuracy in near perfect wind and weather conditions. There were some nice, long, fast, and accurate swoops! Medals were awarded to the top three pilots in each division, a total of $700 prize money was paid out to the top two in each division, and a trophy was given to the overall winner. The breakdown is attached as a .pdf below. Here are the overall scores: Andy De Mars - 531 points Vic Krusi - 495 pts Rob Pooley - 372 pts Connie Krusi - 369 pts Roy Muller - 279 pts Iwan Van Der Schoor - 215 pts Alana Fulvio - 187 pts Mike Rabe - 176 pts Daren Loesch - 169 pts Craig Lichtle - 161 pts Renaud Hubert - 102 pts Rick Paradis - 57 pts Pictures will be posted soon, as well. We're looking forward to seeing some new and returning pilots in next year's CPC! Thanks to Bay Area Skydiving, Gravity Gear, manifest and all who helped out. There are still just a few t-shirts left, as well! Blog Clicky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
