Two ways to qualify to receive a Women's Star Crest Award:
1. Participate in a WSCR Star
formation
* A minimum of eight women skydivers must
individually exit their aircraft and form an
8-woman star (the traditional
round formation).
* All skydivers must be facing inward
toward the center of the star. No re-gripping.
* The star must be held for a minimum of
five seconds.
* All jumpers do not have to be in the
formation--in other words, the formation doesn't
have to be "completed"
to qualify. Everyone who's in the formation for five seconds or
longer
qualifies. Anyone who's out of the formation doesn't qualify.
* Men can also earn WSCR/NWSCR numbers,
but the first eight in the star must be women.
Men can qualify by entering ninth or later on a star of eight or more
women.
2. Participate in an officially recognized all-woman state, national
or world record.
*
A minimum of eight women skydivers must be in the record. For example, if an
official state record
has less than eight, it won’t qualify for a WSCR until the state
record is established
as eight or more women.
* The record-setting jump must
be recognized as an official record by USPA (or the
official national skydiving
organization for countries outside the USA) or FAI rules
in force at the time
of the jump.
* Past and current woman’s (RW) Formation Skydiving record holders are invited to join
the WSCR sisterhood. We honor your accomplishments and welcome
your expertise!
Night
Women's Star Crest Award (NWSCR) criteria include all of the above, plus they
must be performed in night darkness, at least two hours after sunset or two
hours
before sunrise.
** It's important to remember that you don't have a WSCR unless you've applied for
a WSCR number. Just being in an all-woman formation doesn't automatically give you a
WSCR number. You must apply for your WSCR by filling out and submitting a WSCR application form. They are available on this website or by emailing to Nancy@WSCR.org to
request forms. The WSCRs are historically documented and have been recorded since the
first 8-woman star in 1969.

Get your WSCR number by sending in your application now!
Note: I know that sometimes it's difficult to get all the verifying signatures for the application,
especially some days later. Send me what you have, along with your email/phone info, and
we can work out a verification process together.
Thanks!
