Here we go!  Dropzone negotiations went very well this season.  Like I’ve mentioned to many of you, the process of scheduling our meets has changed quite a bit over the years.  When I first started calling dz’s 3 years ago to schedule our meets, I had to convince some of them that we weren’t going to run a muck and ruin their dropzone.  Swoop meets aren’t profitable, people are going to get injured, that doesn’t fit into our operation; these are a few of the concerns we were met with.  Over the years we’ve grown, and this process has changed quite a bit.  We run the league in a profesional manner, we’re as safe as any other skydiving event that involves hurdling yourself out of a plane, and we’re efficient for large or small dropzones to accomodate.  Instead of convincing dz’s to allow us to come to their dz, now we’re invited with open arms.
