Trampoline Sports has three apparatus and four disciplines:
- Individual Trampoline (TRP)
- Synchronized Trampoline (SYN)
- Double Mini Trampoline (DMT)
- Tumbling (TUM), not currently offered at Victoria Park
Trampoline
Individual Trampoline consists of an individual competitor performing two routines on the trampoline in the qualifying round and one routine in the final round. The qualifying round consists of a first voluntary routine (compulsory elements) and a second voluntary routine (optional elements). The Final consists of one voluntary routine (optional elements). In most competitions, skills are performed from ten contacts with the bed, starting the routine and ending the routine on the feet. Skills range from aerial shapes (tuck, pike and straight) to multiple somersaults with twists. Skills receive difficulty points according to body position, the degrees of rotation and twist executed.
The 2nd and Final Voluntary routine also consists of a combination of ten consecutive, but different skills. This routine is judged on the performance, horizontal displacement, and a degree of difficulty score is added to this total. Competitors will use a combination of single or multiple somersaults with multiple twists, both forward and backwards to make up the combination of ten skills.
Synchronised Trampoline
Synchronised Trampoline is judged the same as individual trampoline but there are two competitors bouncing on separate trampolines. Competitors aim to perform the same routine at exactly the same time. Competitors are judged on how well they stay synchronized with each other and an execution score is given for the performance by each athlete. The routines that they perform must be identical. If either competitor performs a different skill or even the same skill in a different body position the routine terminates at that skill and they will only receive a score for the part of the routine performed prior to the error.
Double Mini Tramp
The Double-Mini Trampoline is a low, narrow trampoline with an angled mount. Two skills are performed in sequence:
A mount skill or a spotter skill, followed by a dismount skill.
Competitors perform two different two-skill passes, where no skill can be repeated.
Gymnastics Australia (GA) is the governing body for the sport of gymnastics in Australia. Internationally, gymnastics is governed by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG).
