Judging
Judging will be based on the following criteria in no particular order; -difficulty -originality -fluidity -execution -costume -showmanship -hair style -landing -etc. Our system, over the years, has been to simply "rank" the top ten pilots each day. We don't provide numerical scores and we don't rank beyond 10th. Place.
In General
In general, we try to put on a "good show" and make good video. If you are serious about "acro competition," this is not the place. If you like to land in the water and laugh a lot, please join us.
