Welcome to the Flock University Docked Challenge!!
This is the first international linked formation wingsuit competition.
Here, our goal is to push the boundaries of what is possible with Wingsuits and Docked Flight. In order to keep this competition fresh and fun, we have made the process of submission pretty simple for you.

Docked formation rules:
Dock, defined: A grip between two or more flyers lasting 1 or more seconds. A dock consists of a grip on the person or wingsuit they are flying. Use of batons, noodles etc will not be counted as docks. We feel that is a separate category. Gripper docks DO count if the suit has them.
A dock must be held for a minimum of one second.
A picture of the formation should clearly show all docks being taken.
Video proof should also be submitted as additional proof. The video needs to show that the dock was achieved by one flyer's hand grabbing the other flyer's hand/foot/ankle/gripper. Accidental contact such as unintentional collisions will be disregarded.
In the event of a tie, the docked formation that was held continuously for the longest period of time wins.
If you build grippers onto your suits, they should stay close to the body. Any ridiculous gripper attempts (e.g. foam noodles extending 1m away from the feet or long ribbons trailing behind etc.) will not be taken seriously.
Points
Each hand to hand dock is worth 1 point.
Each hand to foot (or anywhere between knee and ankle) is worth 2 points.
This rewards formations based on the actual difficulty of flying. A 4-way diamond requires significantly more skill than a 4-way line, hence we are counting each hand on foot dock independently.
Feel free to be as creative as you want in your formation configurations.
The formation with the largest number of points wins.
Just use common sense and don't try to bend the rules.
