  • THE NATIONALS ARE GOING AHEAD AS PLANNED!

    📍 Weembi – Lille, France

    📅 5–7 November 2026

    But… if you missed the registration deadline and are still thinking about competing, there may still be an opportunity to join us. 👀

    Weembi will continue to consider late registrations up to 9 October, subject to available tunnel capacity, scheduling and operational requirements.

    🎨 ARTISTICS — WE NEED YOU!

    BISA is aware that entries across some of our Artistic categories are currently lower than we’d like, so we’re making a particular push to get more Artistic flyers involved.

    As with any competition, individual categories need sufficient entries to make them viable. Where numbers remain very low, BISA and Weembi will need to review whether that individual category can reasonably proceed.

    That does NOT mean the Nationals are at risk — they’re going ahead. It simply means we want to give every planned category the best possible chance of being part of the competition.

    So, if you’ve been thinking about entering Artistics, now is the time to turn that maybe into an entry. 🙌

    And don’t forget…

    🌪️ 2-WAY INTERMEDIATE FREEFLY IS BACK!

    We’re bringing this category back to the Nationals to give intermediate flyers a fun, accessible route into competition.

    If you’re comfortable flying head-up, grab a teammate and give it a go. We’d love to see enough teams on the start list to get this category back in the tunnel! 🔥

    👉 Late registration/competition information: https://www.weembi.com/british-nationals-2k26/

    ⚠️ Late entries are not guaranteed. Acceptance will be at Weembi’s discretion and will depend on available tunnel capacity, scheduling and operational requirements.

    📅 Final opportunity for late entries: 9 October

    Already registered? You’re all set.

    Missed the deadline? You’ve still got a window.

    Thinking Artistics? We really want to hear from you. 👊

    🇬🇧🇫🇷 Lille. 5–7 November. The Nationals are ON. Let’s fill those remaining categories!

  • Entering More Than One Category at the British Indoor Nationals

    Our Current Plan

  • Important Rule Change – 2026 British Indoor Nationals

    📢 We listened to your feedback — and we’re making a change. 👊

    Following feedback from competitors, consultation with the community and discussion within BISA, we’ve agreed to update the rule covering competitors who want to fly with more than one team at the British Indoor Nationals.

    The aim is simple:

    🌪️ Increase participation
    🤝 Make it easier to build and support more teams, including Guest teams
    👂 Respond to what our community has been asking us to consider
    ⚖️ While protecting competitive fairness

    So, what’s changing?

    Previously, competing with multiple teams flying the same competition draw meant you could not medal.

    From the 2026 Nationals, you can. 🙌

    The new principle is simple:

    🏅 SAME DRAW. ONE ELIGIBLE TEAM.

    If you fly with multiple teams against the same competition draw, only ONE can be your medal and ranking-eligible team.

    1️⃣ Your eligible team must fly first in every round, before any other team you fly with against that draw.

    🌪️ You can still fly with additional teams — and there is no fixed limit on how many, subject to competition capacity, scheduling and manifest requirements.

    📊 Those additional teams can still compete and have their scores recorded and displayed, but will be ineligible for medals and official ranking.

    👥 Where multiple competitors overlap across the same teams, the same one-team eligibility principle applies — their declarations must be consistent.

    The rule applies across the relevant team competition levels and classifications wherever the same draw is being flown. It does not affect participation in different draws or solo disciplines.

    Why are we making the change?

    We want the Nationals to encourage people to compete, build teams and get involved.

    We’ve heard from members of the community who felt the existing rule could unnecessarily restrict participation. We also expect to see more Guest teams and want to give flyers greater opportunity to support other teams.

    But increasing participation cannot come at the expense of competitive fairness.

    That’s why the eligible team must always fly first — ensuring its performance cannot benefit from that competitor having already flown the same round with another team.

    Most importantly, we asked the community, listened to the feedback, challenged the proposal and used that feedback to shape the final rule.

    The new rule will take effect for the 2026 British Indoor Skydiving Nationals at Weembi, 5–7 November. 🇬🇧🇫🇷

    ⚠️ Already registered and affected by the change?
    Please contact Weembi to discuss.

    📖 The full updated rule will be published shortly.

    More opportunity to compete. More opportunity to build teams. Same commitment to a fair competition. 🔥

  • Help Support our Para Athletes at the 2026 British Indoor Nationals 💙

    British Indoor Skydiving Para Athletes

    We’re delighted that Para athletes will once again be joining us at the British Indoor Skydiving Nationals at Weembi, 5–7 November 2026.

    In previous years, costs associated with the Para competition have been supported through funding from the French Parachute Federation. Unfortunately, this funding is no longer available for 2026.

    To help our Para athletes compete at this year’s Nationals, one of BISA’s Technical Advisors has independently established a GoFundMe campaign to raise financial support for the participating athletes.

    BISA is pleased to share the initiative with the wider indoor skydiving community.

    Want to help?

    Donations of any size can make a difference — and simply sharing the campaign will help it reach more people.

    👉 Support the Para Athletes:
    https://www.gofundme.com/f/para-athletes-compete-at-the-british-indoor-nationals

    The indoor skydiving community has always been at its best when it gets behind its athletes. We’d love to see that support in action again this year. 💙🇬🇧

    Please note: This is an independently organised fundraiser supporting the participating Para athletes. Funds raised through the campaign are not collected, held or administered by BISA.
