As a videographer for these events, your job is not to merely capture the actions taking place in the sky. You now have the added freedom of adding a wide range of angles and depths to your video that make a free routine more pleasing to the viewer. Artistic events are judged entirely different compared to one with an accumulative point scoring system.

 

Competition
 

Freeflying and Freestyle are scored in four different categories: difficulty, execution, artistic impression, and camera work. By executing precise acrobatic maneuvers such as loops, spins, twists, and poses, the performers gain more points.

In both freefly and freestyle, there are seven rounds, two of which are compulsory. The remaining five are free rounds. The content of the compulsory rounds contains four compulsory sequences drawn by the Chief Judge, which must be performed in order of the draw.

The compulsory rounds are performed in rounds 2 and 5 and are scored for the quality and correctness of execution of the sequences, with 10 being a perfect score. The content of the free rounds is chosen entirely by the team, and there may be any number of different free routines within the set number of free rounds.

Each jump is from 13,000 feet with 45 seconds working time beginning when the first team member leaves the aircraft.
