A
Simple Guide to the 2005 Trampolining Code of Points
The
FIG Trampolining Technical Committee has now produced a new code of points (Set
of rules) which will come into force in January 2005 for the next 4 years. They
have advised that we should base our rules in GB on the FIG ones but also accept
that we may add or change some of them. We
will keep as near to the International rules as we can so that our International
performers, coaches and judges can transfer comfortably from BG rules to
International rules without coming across many problems. Some of the new rules
do not suit the way we run our competitions and because of this we will use our
own rules.
International Rule Changes and additions
The
number in the margin refers to the rule number in the code of points. Unless it
is stated otherwise, we will be adopting the rule as written.
Changes and further comments about the rule are written in italics.
1
Individual Competition
Finals - A zero start for the
finals, for individual and team finals. There will only be 8 individuals in a
final for Worlds, Olympics, World Cups etc.
2
Team
Competition
Team Finals - 5 teams of 3 compete an extra ‘Team Finals’ routine;
all 3 scores to count; zero start
final.
We
will not be having a ‘team
finals’ round. Our team rules
will remain the same.
4
Winners
In
the event of an equal placing the ranking it is based on the form scores
for that particular round as follows:
a)
the performer with the highest form mark score for that round is given
the higher place.
b)
If
the scores are still the same, all 5 form scores are taken and the highest form
score gives the highest place.
c)
If
there is still an equal, the highest 4 form scores are taken, then the highest 3
and so on until a ranking is possible.
This is also
done in a similar way for the team
event. The highest team score
(total of the three highest places) is ranked.
a)
If there is an equal place then the highest two performers scores for
that round are taken,
b)
then
the highest one to produce a result. (The team event scores will involve difficulty marks)
The current Swescore computer system can actually do this ranking.
5
Routines
Internationally, the set
routine will have some compulsory elements (skills) in it and some ‘free
elements’.
Currently our Grade 2 U18/O18s
groups and our Grade 1 U18/O18 and Mens/Ladies groups use this and will continue
to do so.
6
Dress for Performers
Men cannot wear gym trousers in black or any other deep dark colour.
7
Competition
Cards (Tariff
Sheets) Where a
Compulsory routine is used with only certain required elements (As in 5 above).
There will be a deduction of 0.1 (by
each Execution judge) for each change
in the order of skills performed in the compulsory. There will be a deduction of
1.0 (by each Execution judge) for each missing required element. (See also Rule 15) There will be a 1.0
deduction (by each execution judge) for each repeated
skill in the routine.
Note:
it will no longer be a routine
termination if there is a change to the compulsory routine e.g. if the
skills are performed in an order different to that which is written.
Please
note that this will only apply to our Grade 1 & 2 U18, O18 and Mens/Ladies
competitions so don’t panic at the grade 3 – 6 competition, in this level of
competition none of the above applies.
8
Equipment - only refers to FIG norms, dimensions & tolerances.
No distances of trampolines given however they are in the norms.
9
Safety Requirements
Most of this section is removed & reference made to the FIG technical
regulations. Height of hall: this section is removed, and now included under
norms & tolerances.
The new BG rules will keep the Safety requirements and there are no
significant changes from what we have had in the past
11
Superior Jury & Jury
of Appeal
(which replaces the arbitration jury) is replaced by the fig term
Superior Jury. Reference then made to the FIG technical regulations.
We are
going to continue with an Arbitration Jury and Protests in the same way
as before for another experimental year.
16
Interruptions to a routine
Skills which land on 1 foot are no longer counted. Termination is
at the skill prior to the 1-footed landing. There is also no longer a deduction for landing on one foot (0.3)
17
Termination of a Routine
Landing on both feet on the tenth skill
The interpretation of
this rule now states that the performer must reach the vertical position with his/her body when landing on both feet for
this skill to count. If they land
on the feet but never reach the vertical position and have to use hands to avoid
falling over onto front or face or they fall over onto seat or back as soon as
they hit the bed the skill will not be counted. When this occurs, no
deduction for the fall will be given.
18
Scoring Tariff is now
called the ‘A’ score and Execution now called ‘B’ score
Difficulty –
0.1 bonus is given per completed
somersault (each somersault is worth 0.5 instead of 0.4)
Single somersaults without twist performed in pike
or straight position receive an additional 0.1 (same as currently used)
Multiple
somersaults of 720º or more (doubles +), with or without twist, executed in the
straight or pike position will receive an additional 0.2 points. (Fliffis
will get 0.2, Triffis will also get 0.2 )
Synchro trampolining now only has 4 Execution judges, 2 per trampoline,
the marks are put together and the highest and lowest are deducted, the
remaining scores are added to give the ‘B’ score.
(It is possible that the counting Execution scores will both be from the
same trampoline.)
The
Synchro score is to be determined by dropping the high & the low scores of
the 3 synchro judges and doubling the mark (as
we do now).
19.
Competition
Jury
In synchronised trampolining Judges 1 & 3 look at bed 1 , Judges 2
& 4 look at bed 2. There is no
assistant difficulty judge in synchro. This
is to be done by the assistant Chair of Judges panel. The Superior Judge is now called the Chair of the Judges Panel.
20
Duties of Chair of Judges Panel
(Additional duties) Decide if there is an obvious numerical error in the
scores.
Ie. If the tariff judges have perhaps made an error.
21
Duties of the Judge for
Execution
Changes to deductions at the end of the routine.
There is no longer a specific deduction for landing on only 1 foot
The deduction for falling onto knees or hands/knees has increased to 0.6,
same as for seat, front or back (it was
0.5)
TOUCHING springs, pads, frame or end deck is now 0.6
(it was 0.7, landing on the end deck was
0.8)
LANDING / FALLING on springs, pads, frame, spotter mat or end deck
is now 0.8 (was 0.7 for spotter mat). They
have differentiated between touching & landing/falling on.
Additional deductions given by Chair of the Judges Panel
If a routine is interrupted the deduction for lack of stability still
applies after the performer has stopped bouncing (either the element or straight
jump/out bounce)
Changed elements in the compulsory routine 0.1
(U18/O18, Mens & Ladies Grade 1 & 2 only)
Missing elements in the compulsory routine is 1.0
(U18/O18, Mens & Ladies Grade 1 & 2 only)
Repetition of a skill in the compulsory routine is 1.0
(U18/O18, Mens & Ladies Grade 1& 2 only) ‘
24
Duties of Assistant Chair of
Judges Panel
In Synchro competitions, performs the duties of the Assistant DD judge
(see if both trampolines did the same skill)
