Panel of Judges

Judges on World Team's Panel of Judges received their National Judge's Rating from their respective National Parachuting Associations, and their International FAI Judge's Rating from the International Parachuting Commission (IPC) of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

For the Largest Freefall Formation in Udon Thani, the Panel of Judges will review the freefall video still images from each world record attempt, and a score will be posted that reflects the exact formation size of that dive.  When the freefall performance on any record attempt satisfies the IPC/FAI requirements for a Largest Freefall Formation World Record, the Panel of Judges will submit all the necessary paperwork and video evidence required to certify a new FAI world record in that category. 

For the Mass Freefall Jump into the new Bangkok International Airport on 11 February 2006, the Panel of Judges will review the official manifest, which lists the names and nations of each participating jumper.  When the jump takes place, the Panel of Judges will observe as the skydivers in each aircraft exit, to ensure that all participants are making freefall skydives.  Video images will be taken from the ground as the skydivers exit from each aircraft, so that the Panel of Judges can count the exact number of participants.  The data from the mass jump will be compiled and presented for certification as a new Guinness Book World Record for a Mass Freefall Jump.
