Change in TRA Code of Points

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, March 3, 2010: After two years of research, the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee introduced time of flight as an additional objective criteria in Individual Trampoline judging. Time of flight research was first presented at a Symposium held parallel to the 2009 World Championships in St Petersburg (RUS), where a clear majority vote by the federations present gave the go-ahead to implement the new criteria into the Code of Points (CoP).

The TC then reviewed the CoP, made the necessary changes and proposed a complete package to the FIG Executive Committee. At its meeting last weekend in Lausanne (SUI) the EC followed up with a unanimous decision in favour of the proposal as presented by TC President Horst Kunze (GER).

The new CoP will come into force on September 1, 2010, which means it will be valid for the FIG World Cup in Albacete (ESP), all following World Cups of the Series and the 27th FIG Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships in Metz (FRA) in November.

The revised CoP has been published at the FIG website.
The following sections of the CoP have been affected by the time of flight decision:

Individual competiton: 1.1.2
Routines: 5.1.1, 5.1.3
Recorders & Secretariat: 10.3.4
