World Cup Austria + Open EPC Spain.
Explanation as to why there were two separate events in 2002. Reasons: more competitions, good bids from organisers and to test separate events. All in line with the IPC Mission Plan.
Tentative conclusions: lower attendance (non European teams WC only), expensive for competitors (if attending 2 events), long travel and attendance time for teams, good exposure for events.
Olympic bid IPC for 2008 Beijing not accepted. The Olympic policy of IPC is to be evaluated at the IPC meeting 2003.
World Games 2001 Japan: parachuting best event with highest number of public. Good exposure and used in the presentation for the Olympic bid.
Next World Games: 2005 Duisburg, Germany (FS4, accuracy, AE event), 102 athletes maximum.
The following decisions were taken during this Open Meeting, to be proposed for 2003:
General:
- 1 video camera only to be allowed.
- Finals: will include a compulsory round
(2001 system, 7 jumps total, 4 qualification + 3 final rounds)
no more resetting to 0
- Working time: no changes
- Addendum B: define sit position.
- Addendum C: add atmonauti and carving.
Compulsories:
- Freestyle: to include a tracking / atmonauti sequence.
- Skysurfing: change compulsory SK-1 (BBF)
Speed round freeflying:
- Better description of moves.
- Bust: will stay at 0 points, deduction for omission & total separation failure
- Maximum 35 seconds working time, for safety reasons.
Compulsories FR &SK:
- no more separate score for camera, just 1 score per compulsory sequence.
Judging can be faster, mostly through a better logistical system of dubbing, tape transportation and use of harddisk (no VHS tapes). In general, scores were available 1 to 1,5 minutes after the second viewing. This judging time is acceptable.
No specialised judes for criteria in 2003: However, a test event will be tried to be held in summer 2003 in Europe.
Forseable future for less criteria (eg. technical and artistic criteria only).
MUNDIAL 2003 GAP - TALLARD, FRANCE

No bids for 2004: this year will be a World Parachuting Championship.
2005: possible WAG, no bid yet, organisation structure under current evaluation by FAI
