World Team 2010 Registration Information |
| Function of Registration Process: Submitting forms and fulfilling other administrative tasks is not as much fun as exiting a C-130 Hercules, diving through the wild blue yonder, and holding hands in freefall with friends from around the world. However, the better organized World Team is on the ground, the easier and quicker it will be to start skydiving when the whole team gets together next January in the Land of Smiles. All participants of World Team events must officially Register. Most of the vital information required from each World Team participant should be provided via the on-line Registration Form. This form will request information about relevant travel-related documents, flight itineraries, passports, accompanying personnel, roommate preferences, apparel sizes, etc. Everyone who registers will be requested to submit a passport style photo (head-and-shoulders) for their ID badge. The Registration Process for World Team 2010 begins on 1 September 2009. World Team participants should follow the link at the bottom of this page to submit their on-line Registration Form. International Transportation to/from Bangkok: All World Team members must provide their own transportation to Bangkok. There is no official World Team air carrier, but – if the price is right – World Team members are encouraged to fly Thailand’s national carrier Thai Airways. Participants flying from Europe can contact Ronnie Limborg, who has special rates, including extra baggage allowance, for World Team members. All World Team members should be in Bangkok no later than the official Arrival Day of 7 January, and leave no earlier than the evening before the official Departure Day of 18 January 2010. Please book your flights right away!
Documents: These documents often take some time to renew. Please do not delay! Registration Fees: The registration fee for World Team ‘10 skydivers is USD 2700. For this fee, each team member will receive a package that includes double-occupancy accommodations with breakfast for 11 nights, transfers between the airport and hotel in Bangkok, domestic transportation between Bangkok and Udon Thani, daily transport between the hotel and DZ, welcome and farewell dinners, all jumps, T-shirts, goodie bag with event memorabilia, and the opportunity to make skydiving history. The package also includes use of World Team’s high-tech equipment, including a two-stage oxygen system (in-aircraft and in freefall), an aerial communication system, and an ultra modern video review system. The world class Camera Team members will record all skydives with HD video and document them with high-quality digital stills. The Royal Thai Air Force will provide a fully equipped DZ and affordable packing services by RTAF riggers. All fee payments should be paid to the participant’s Sector Captains or their designated administrator. Accompanying Personnel: Team members are welcome to have friends and family members accompany them during World Team events. For a reduced registration fee, a complete package will be provided for accompanying persons that includes everything except the skydiving-related activities and some of the items in the goodie bag. A World Team T-shirt is included for all accompanying persons. A registration fee of USD 1575 applies to all accompanying persons who are 16 years old and over as of 18 January 2010. Reduced fees for accompanying children are as follows: USD 825 for children 12-15 years old or a child of any age requiring an extra bed; USD 400 for children 3-11 years old sharing a bed with their parents. There is no charge for children 0-2 years old. In order to negotiate the best prices for all of World Team’s needs, registration fees cannot be a-la-carte or day-by-day. All accompanying persons, even children, must register! On the Registration Form, they should choose the Sector of the participant/skydiver they are accompanying. Registration fees for persons accompanying team members should be paid to the team member’s Sector Captain or their designated administrator. Financial Commitment: Within 30 days of being selected, each World Team Member must submit a minimum “registration deposit” of US$ 1000 to secure their slot. The final payment of US$ 1700 must be paid no later than 1 October 2009. For WT’10, the deadline for full payment is very close to the deadline for the deposit, so team members are encouraged to pay the full registration fee as one payment rather than making two separate payments. This should save additional money-handling fees. Still have questions?
