Formation Skydiving
There are 4 different categories in the 4-way formation skydiving, with Blast being suitable for newly qualified skydivers and tunnel flyers.
Blast: Perfect for beginners. May have one experienced player-coach
A: Great for beginners and intermediate flyers who've flown some 4-way
AA: You've probably competed before and are serious about 4-way
AAA: The best of the best!
You'll have 35 seconds to complete as many formations as possible. All categories will fly 8 rounds, except for AAA who will fly 10.
Rules will be the same as the 2025 rules below.

Vertical Formation Skydiving (VFS)
If you're signed off the sit-fly you're ready for VFS! The 2-way Intermediate VFS (head up) is one of our most popular events.
2-way VFS (inter): Great for new sit-flyers. A maximum of 1 flyer can be signed off to fly head down.
2-way VFS (open): Both flyers will need to be signed off for head down. Please note we are omitting blocks HD-05 and HD-06.
4-way VFS (advanced): Great for those with some VFS experience, even if it's your first competition. Teams may have up to 2 flyers who have competed in the open previously.
4-way VFS (open): The best of the best and those looking to compete on a world stage.
Teams will have 35 seconds working time and 6 rounds. Rules will be the same as the 2025 rules below.

Your guide to Freestyle
We have created amended compulsories for the Intermediate Freestyle categories, which are designed to be achieveable for intermediate or beginner flyers.
All freestyle competitors will fly 5 rounds, with 3 'free routines' (you'll fly the same free routine in all 3 free rounds). F-C-F-C-F. See below for amendments to the FAI rules for intermediate flyers, along with videos for all 6 compulsory moves. All videos contain the open, intermediate and beginner versions.

Dynamic Flying
The newest discipline to be added to the FAI rules. Flyers will need to be signed off to fly head down for this face-paced race against the clock. Both D2W and D4W will be speed rounds only.
D2W (inter): Great for those competing in dynamic for the first time.
D2W (open): Great for experienced dynamic flyers and those splitting a 4-way team into 2 pairs.
D4W (open): The best of the best! Their will be a lot of instructors and coaches competing here.
Solo Speed: For flyers that love to fly fast!
Each category will fly 6 rounds and be scored for each (rather than a knockout battle). D2W Inter will use S1 / S3 / S5, V1 / V3 / V5 and M1 / M2 / M6 - all other rules remain the same as open.
