Collegiates, T minus 3 days!

We hope everyone had a very, very merry Christmas! We're making final preparations for the National Collegiate Parachuting Championships here at Skydive Spaceland, and all we want for Christmas is a few days of good weather for the competition...

You might have noticed that the schedule page at http://www.uspacollegiates.com/ does not list an order of events for the meet. This is because we want to be able to take advantage of whatever weather we get, so the schedule may change without notice. For example, if the clouds are too low for freefall but high enough for accuracy, guess who gets to go first? And if the cloud bases go back up before accuracy is finished, we'll probably start getting the freefall competitors who aren't doing accuracy in the air. In other words, we'll do everything we can do complete the event as soon as possible when Mother Nature is feeling cooperative.

Lastly, the Collegiates online registration system is open for business! So competitors, when you're ready for a break from that other kind of relative work, hop online at http://www.uspacollegiates.com/ and register. You can register, pay, and set up/modify your teams as needed, and pre-registration will save you some time when you check in on-site. Everyone will need to register online, whether you do it from home or at a registration station once you get here.

This system is just like the one used at this year's Nationals in October, so you might already be familiar with it. If you're not, you might want to check out the brief registration how-to video. Make sure you are registered by 5 pm on Monday, Dec. 28!

See you soon at Spaceland!
