Trampoline Routines and Elements
A trampoline gymnastics routine generally consists of 10 elements that are performed in succession without straight jumps between them.
In competition there are two types of routines:
Compulsory routines
Compulsory routines are usually done in the first round of qualifying.
They consist of predefined elements that are specified by the competition committee. These elements are only scored on execution, time of flight and horizontal displacement but not on difficulty.
Depending on the type of competition there might be severeal elements (often 2) that the gymnast can choose themselves and add to the routine. These voluntary jumps will be scored on difficulty.
