     Trampoline National Technical Committee – Final version 16th June 2020
NATIONAL TRAMPOLINE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE - National Competition Structure 2021

The British Gymnastics (BG) National Trampoline Technical Committee (NTTC) is responsible and accountable
to BG for the development and direction of all Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline and Tumbling for all BG
members.

Any ‘Open’ competitions organised under BG membership/insurance must be authorised by the NTTC.

Any regional activity providing opportunity for members of the region must be authorised by the relevant
Regional Executive Committee and in consultation with the NTTC.

The competition seasons are from 1st October to 30th September.

Gymnasts and Coaches may select their competition pathway and entry level. After the appropriate level has
been selected and competed at, a gymnast cannot change levels during the same competition season.

Notice of main changes to the National Competition Structure 2020/21

    •   Change to qualification score 9-10yrs
    •   Whip bonus introduced for 9-10yrs

National Squad coaches:

Rob Small, Glen Wharton, Mikey Barnes, Kath Small

Any gymnast who did not compete at FIG in 2018-2019 will need to make arrangements with one of the
National Squad Coaches listed above to demonstrate their ability, in person, to meet the minimum criteria and
receive permission to enter the Spring Event Series before the event closing date. Failure to comply will result
in the gymnast being withdrawn and the entry fee lost.

National Development coaches:

Mikey French, Chris Porter

TUM Rep NTTC: Alan (Paddy) Lavelle

NB. FIG rules will be used at the British Championships. Finals will be from zero unless there are fewer than 8
gymnasts in any age group, in which case the score will be cumulative over the 2 rounds of competition
(qualification and final)
TUM FIG Performance Level

Spring Event Series

2 x British Gymnastics qualifying events for FIG level leading to the British Championships

Gymnasts may attend one or both Spring Event Series event to obtain the best counting score.

     •   Gymnasts who do not demonstrate the minimum DD requirements will not be ranked for
         qualification to the British Championships or be eligible for a medal.
     •   Incomplete runs will result in a zero ‘DNF’ score
     •   Gymnasts receiving a zero ‘DNF’ score will not be awarded a medal

Minimum qualifying score per age group / gender is set by the National Coaches in consultation with the
Technical Committee and based on the cumulative score from the two qualifying runs.

From January 2021 there will be a 0.2 bonus added per whip (bonus applies to a maximum of 5 whips in a
single run) making each eligible whip 0.4 for 9-10yrs.

The minimum difficulty has been raised to 4.4 to reflect the increase in the whip value for 9-10yrs e.g:
