In the sequential event complete separation of all team members or two or more jumpers flying together as one or more pre-determined groups. An intermediate formation must be flown and remain intact with the correct grips. In the Four way sequential and eight way speed formation events, the working time starts when the first team member leaves the aircraft. In the Four way rotation event, the working time starts after the first four way formation whether correct or not, or 30 seconds following the exit of the first team member. 3.2.1 Canopy Formation Teams perform a formation or a sequence of formations during descent under their main canopies.
Sequences are repeatable.
Rotations must be made by the top competitor in the complete formation dropping grips, flying to the bottom of the formation and again completing a four canopy formation. The formation must be held for at least five seconds. The holding time may run over the working time. When air turbulence is apparent, the Meet Director may decide to raise the exit altitude. This decision is not open to protest.
