Rookie Class This is the class for the beginners in the sport. The events of this class are an introduction to Formation Skydiving competition at the grass roots. The rules have now been synchronized between the leagues for the 2005 season. This will fully include the Rookie Class teams in any possible prize giving. Each sequence begins with one of the four exit formations: B, E, M, O. |
