Steph2 0 #1 August 6, 2004 Good luck to everyone doing the 8-way Nationals this weekend! I hope you have as much fun as we did doing the 4-way comp 3 turbine Dorniers - woo hoo!!! Steph -x- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #2 August 9, 2004 Thanks Steph! It was an excellent weekend. Results as follows: Senior Gold - VNE Silver - Om Bronze - Box of Frogs Intermediate Gold - International Space Kettle Silver - Sounds Grrr8 Bronze - Vision The intermediate competition was incredibly close with a jump off between International Space Kettle and Sounds Grrr8 for 1st place and between Vision and Tequila for 3rd. At the end of the 5 rounds there was only one point separating the top 4 teams! In the end ISK pulled out a great jump to beat us (Sounds Grrr8) by one point and after 3 nail biting jump offs, Vision pipped Tequila to the bronze medal by a point. What a meet!

usskydiver 0 #5 August 9, 2004 That's interesting. I competed intermediate last year at the US nationals and we used a reduced dive pool (no slot switchers, etc) but it was a first four/first five draw. I'm doing open this year so learning all the new stuff I didn't learn last year (I sometimes think my head is going to explode) Tim T.

skyminxx 0 #6 August 9, 2004 nah... You guys were looking schweet this weekend. It was great being on the same training load as the Paracetes Nationals is going to be a whole lot of fun with all the Rford bunch there. We have thrown the idea of doing 8 way after 4way is done out there...so we may be in need of some help grins You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.-Richard Bach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ph8068 0 #8 August 10, 2004 What's the reduced dive pool for intermediates in the US? Or where can I find out? I've had a look at USPA and Omniskore but can't seem to see it. Also, what's the requirements to enter intermediates (max jump numbers etc.)? Thanks for your help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #9 August 11, 2004 Full 8-way results available now on the BPA website. Vicki Edited to make the clicky work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usskydiver 0 #10 August 11, 2004 What was the draw for the Senior Class? Tim T. Team Paraclete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usskydiver 0 #11 August 11, 2004 3. 8-Way Intermediate: a. Representations of the numbered block sequences (except blocks 9, 11, 12, 15, 20, and 22) and lettered random formations from the current dive pool are singularly placed in one container. Fom the USPA Competition Manual (pg 54) the rest of your answers are probably in there as well. http://www.uspa.org/publications/manuals.pdf/SCM.1-5_May2004.pdf I'm too dumb to make it "clicky" Tim T.
