Trampolining on telly...

BBC2 Flog It! programme has a feature on Brentwood's role in trampoline history today (Monday 15th, BBC2, 3:45pm). Club members are shown performing some moves - should be worth looking to see how the pro's film trampolining for effect.

Bouncing Higher

The following announcement on the BG website affects international competition from this September onwards and is highly likely to filter into UK competitions over the next year to 18-months so good reason to start to work on getting those routines a little higher:

The FIG Executive have approved a new Code of Points for Trampoline which will come into affect on 1st September 2010 and which will include Time of Flight to be used in all rounds of individual competition (first, second and final routines).

The Time of Flight will be added to the current scoring system i.e. a routine score is E+E+E+D+T (T=Time of Flight).

The FIG EC has also approved a document that outlines the functional properties of the “machine” (TMD - Time Measuring Device) developed by the TRA-TC and the Apparatus Commission together.

Hull Gala Results

A very good weekend for us in Hull. Saturday had Hannah McCann and Charlotte Webb entering their first FIG B event whilst Sunday we had Chrissie law & Anthony Williams in the National C competition. Hannah & Charlotte were not able to repeat their 1/2 in their last National C but did very well indeed beating many regular FIG B competitors taking 4th and 5th places respectively. Anthony & Chrissie both also finalled with Anthony taking 5th and Chrissie 7th.
