Download a .pdf version of the APF Performance Based Funding Guidelines
Any Athlete endorsed by the APF to represent Australia at World Parachuting Championships (WPC) will be provided with the basic level of funding: competition entry fee and uniform (see Sporting Code, section 5.2).
Level 1 A percentage of APTAC funding (to be determined by National Coach)
Level 2 A greater percentage of APTAC funding (determined by National Coach)
Level 3 (for serious medal contenders) Level 2 plus return airfare & reasonable on-travel costs to competition (i.e. immigration visa/bus/train/ferry fares/hotel transfers from nearest main airport direct to the competition site)
Performance Based Funding is to be utilised for training jumps, coaching fees (including coach travel expense) and tunnel training only. Recipients of funding must evidence expenditure to the satisfaction of the National Coach.
Note: the National Coach is to determine the percentage of funding allocated to each level depending on the medal chances of any teams. For example, in a year when Australia produced a strong medal chance, more funding would be diverted to the team involved. In years with no strong medal chances, funds would be more evenly distributed.
The following performance indicators are based on performance at the qualifying Australian National Championships.
-
1.1 Four Way FS Open
- Level One
- produce an average score of at least 15.0
- Level Two
- produce an average score of at least 18.0
- Level Three
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
-
1.2. Four Way FS Female
- Level One
- produce an average score of at least 13.0
- Level Two
- produce an average score of at least 16.2 (Australia's best ever result to date).
- Level Three
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
-
1.3. Four Way VFS Open
- Level One
- produce an average score of at least 8.0.
- Level Two
- produce an average score of at least 12.0
- Level Three
- produce a ranking that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
-
1.4. Eight Way FS Open
- Level One
- produce an average score of at least 11.
- Level Two
- produce an average score of at least 14.7 (Australia's best ever result to date).
- Level Three
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
2. Artistics
- An FAI AE rated Judge will be appointed to assess the abilities of the freefly and freestyle skydiving team(s). The Judge ideally will have judged at the previous WPC and will be given access to the WPC AE tapes for comparison. The Judge will be chosen by the National Coach and the Director of Competitions. The Judge will decide on placement of the teams in the following levels.
- Level One (FREESTYLE)
- Place the team in the top 6 at the last WPC.
- Level Two
- Level Three
- Place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
- Level One (FREEFLY)
- Place the team in the top 10 at the last WPC.
- Level Two
- Place the team in the top 6 at the last WPC.
- Level Three
- Place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
3. Classics
- Score can be in either style or accuracy, or overall. Competitors will be chosen on Nationals performance but funding may be determined from any competition in the period between the previous and current Nationals that follows the APF SC or the IPC SC, goes 10 rounds and has Judges with at least a national S&A rating.
- Level One
- Produce a performance that would place the competitor in the top 25% of the last WPC.
- Level Two
- produce a performance that would place the competitor in the final round (top 50% of semi-final round) of the last WPC.
- Level Three
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
-
4 WAY CF, SEQUENTIAL OR ROTATIONS
- Level One
- produce an average score of at least 3.0 (sequential) or 7.7 (rotations)
- Level Two
- Level Three
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC.
-
2 WAY CF SEQUENTIAL
- Level One
- produce a score that would place them in the top 10 at the last WPC
- Level Two
- produce a score that would place the team in the top 6 at the last WPC
- Level Three
- Produce a score that would place the team in the top 3 at the last WPC
5. Canopy Piloting
- Scores produced at qualifying Nationals are to be inserted into the appropriate part of the event at the scoresheets from the last WPC. The overall ranking that would have been achieved is then used to assess funding. Account must be made of the possible differences in course structure and weather conditions when deciding on the level of funding allocated.
- Level One
- produce a ranking that would place the competitor in the top 25% at the last WPC.
- Level Two
- produce a ranking that would place the competitor in the top 12.5% at the last WPC.
- Level Three
- produce a ranking that would place the competitor in the top 3 at the last WPC.
6. All Team Events
- As an incentive for teams to stay together long-term and for Australia to retain competitors, funding for WPC participation in 2nd+ WPC will be considered at one level higher than was provided at the previous WPC, if:
- all the same team members compete at consecutive Australian Nationals and WPC
- the team qualifies to represent Australia at the 2nd+ WPC
- demonstrated improvement on their previous best performance(s) at Nationals or First Category event
- A videographer can be reasonably excluded from the larger team member components except for Artistic teams. A nominated alternate from Nationals can be included in the team selection.
7. For All Events
To help extend the competitive life of our elite athletes who have already shown the ability to achieve Level 3 benchmarks by winning a medal, Level 3 funding will be offered for any team/individual that wins a medal at the previous WPC, providing it is the exact same team and they qualify for the next consecutive WPC at the Nationals.
8. Overall
- Any member of a medal winning team at either of the 2 previous WPCs that qualifies to represent Australia at the next WPC in the same discipline but, not necessarily in the same event, will be offered level 3 funding.
- A team or individual qualifying for level 2 or level 3 funding may apply up to 25% of their funding toward coaching fees, including coach travel expenses, incurred in the lead up to the selection year nationals.

Coach Register
The Instructors and Coaches in the skydiving industry are integral components of this sport to maintain Australia's high safety standards and exceptional level of skydiving skill.
This list of instructors and coaches has been compiled so that APF members wishing to up skill themselves can easily identify who is available and what fees are applicable. The list also identifies B-Rel Buddy's and provides contact information so that novice jumpers can connect with the coach that best suits them. So, before you look overseas for a coach and before you start organising your event or coaching weekend, have a look at our great Australian coaches that are available for you!
This list of coaches (formerly tutors), has been compiled from the list of APF registered coaches as well as coaches well known for their skills and knowledge in their particular discipline. (Permission was sought prior to posting the contact details of these coaches, so please use the information for the powers of good!!)
The APF advises any person wishing to utilise the coaching services of any person found on these lists, to use due diligence when selecting a coach.

Congratulations to all our teams who represented proudly and successfully.
Looking forward to 2018, hopefully on the Gold Coast! #supportourbid
