The Canadian 2000 Nationals
Official Rules - Freestyle and SkysurfingThe Canadian 2000 Nationals are scheduled for July 22 to 31, 2000. They will be hosted by the St. Catherine's Parachute Club in Burnaby, Ontario, Canada.
With regard to the CSPA 2000 Summer Nationals, interested freestyle and skysurfing competitors will find the CSPA rules regarding these events below. As the actual performance requirements and judging of the events are based on the IPC International rules, competitors will have to review the IPC rules in order to have a complete understanding of the event. Due to the length of the IPC rules the committee will not be reproducing them for the competition manual, but rather, will be providing a short one-page set of rules specific to the Canadian Nationals (below) with a reference to the IPC rules.
Competitors may view the complete IPC rules at the FAI website at http://www.fai.org/parachuting/. Copies of these rules will also be available from the CSPA office or the chair.
