Trampoline and Tumbling

Trampoline and tumbling consists of four events: individual, synchronized, double mini and power tumbling.

In individual routines they are required to jump to achieve the height they need to perform a sequence of aerial skills.

Synchronized trampoline is done with a partner. In this type of routine they are marked on their synchronized routine done together, as well as their form and the difficulty of their moves.

Double mini trampoline is a smaller trampoline with a run-up were two moves are to be performed then two more for the final round.

In power tumbling, athletes perform a repetitive amount of series of flips and twists down a tumbling track.

All of these events have a similiar scoring point system. Most of them are out of 10 point score.
