Frankfurt (GER) 2013
FIG says in the official website that "Trampoline held its
course, the last of the Intercontinental Judges’ Courses for FIG competitive
disciplines targeting the 2013 – 2016 Olympic Cycle, in Frankfurt (GER) from
January 15 – 20, 2013. Under the direction of Technical Committee President Horst Kunze (GER), and
hosted by the German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) at the new premises of the DTB
Gymacademy, the course exclusively targeted judges officiating at FIG
international competitions, World Cups, World Championships, the Olympic Games
as well as the World Games.
A total of 62 participants from 24 different federations representing all
continents participated in this course. It is the only opportunity for judges to
certify in the highest brevet category of four, Category 1. The course focused on the new 2013 – 2016 Code of Points that plays a
determining part in shaping the development of the discipline over the upcoming
four-year period. Major rule changes include the introduction of a second
qualifying round at Trampoline World Championships and the evaluation of scores
by the median mark of each single element.
This Intercontinental Course was the final event to be led by the 2009 - 2012
FIG Trampoline Technical Committee, marking the concluding function of the XIIth
cycle of TC members before the Transfer of Powers ceremony in February. Course
participants bid farewell to outgoing TC member Vladimir Zeman (CZE) and
welcomed newly elected member Dmitri Poliarush (BLR), former representative for
Trampoline at the FIG Athletes’ Commission".
