Vertical Star Crest Awards
VSCR & VSCS
In 2002 the BBMSC launched its vertical RW awards: The VSCR and VSCS. Although the majority of vertical Star Crest Recipients recorded so far have resulted from hybrid formations, the intent of these new awards is to include ALL vertical formations of 8 or more participants as long as the exit requirements are followed.
VSCR
The Vertical Star Crest Recipient formation may launch up to a 4-way and must participate in a freefall formation involving eight or more skydivers in any freefall configuration (sitting, standing, heads-down). No more than one-half (but not necessarily any) of the formation may fly belly to earth. The final formation must be held together for a minimum of 5 seconds.
VSCS
The Vertical Star Crest Solo recipient must participate in a vSCR qualifying skydive, no grips on exit, dock as 8th or later and not dock belly to earth. After the candidate docks, the formation must be held together for a minimum of 5 seconds.
