The Skydiver's Competition Manual prescribes procedures by which national competitions are selected and conducted, how judges are rated, how records are set, and how teams are selected.
Chapter 3 of the Skydiver’s Competition Manual stipulates procedures by which records are established and claimed. There are many different types of records set during competition.
Judges are a very important part of competition. They ensure the rules are followed and the competitors are scored with a standardized system. You can find a USPA judge and learn about how to become by clicking the button below!
