Come learn about MFS with a fun and friendly Scrambles-style competition hosted by SDC MatriX over Labor Day weekend!
(((No MFS experience necessary)))
Sunday August 31st, 2025
Skydive Chicago
Mixed Formation Skydiving (MFS) combines belly flying, back flying, sit flying, and head-down - making for some of the most fun and unique dive flows possible!
“Scrambles” means you will be paired with a different partner each round.
We’ll do 6 jumps, drawn from the MFS dive pool. We will add up your individual points from each round to determine the winners.
Bad ass prizes and life-long bragging rights go to the top finishers.
Because the MFS camera flyer is always part of the team, and arguably the most challenging position to fly, each Advanced participant will be required to fly camera for 1 or 2 of the rounds.
A good attitude is essential for this event. We do a lot of laughing and award STYLE POINTS every round for epic maneuvers and hilarious flubs!
TWO DIVISIONS!
Advanced: must be able to take docks and be a safe and proficient flyer while Head Down, Head Up, on Belly, and Back. Also a willingness to rotate through the camera slot on some rounds.
Intermediate: Head-Up, Belly, and Back only! Participants must be able to take basic docks and have the ability to move and fly safely while Head Up, on Belly, and Back.
REGISTRATION:
There is a $20 entry fee 😎 and we need you to fill out THIS short Google form:
https://forms.gle/KSmFubQarGuKkSkG8
💥Once you’ve filled out the form, please secure your slot by sending the $20 registration fee to our Venmo : @SDC_MatriX
Please only sign up if you KNOW you will be attending. Having a no-show or a last-minute cancellation really messes with the logistics of this event.
