WHAT IS LANDING ACCURACY?

It is the oldest discipline in the history of skydiving and also the most visual for the public.
Each team is made up of 5 competitors. They jump from the plane at 1000m and must land precisely on a small yellow pellet 2cm in diameter located in the center of a cake 32cm in diameter. Their performance is measured in cm by electronic sensors.
Examples:
Placed on the pad in the center = 00
Placed 1cm from the center = 01
Placed 2cm from the center = 02
......... etc. Up to the maximum penalty
Placed 16cm (and more) from the center = 16

THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THE SMALLEST SCORE!

The scores of each competitor and each team are added.
8 rounds are planned.
A powerful computer system allows spectators to follow the evolution of the rankings live. Tension and suspense will be there!
At the end of the last round a final ranking will be established and the winners will be honored.
