"Time of flight" voted new criteria
* fig-press--: After two years of research, the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee introduced time of flight as an additional objective criteria in Individual Trampoline judging.

Time of flight research was first presented at a Symposium held parallel to the 2009 World Championships in St Petersburg (RUS), where a clear majority vote by the federations present gave the go-ahead to implement the new criteria into the Code of Points (CoP).

The Technical Committee then reviewed the Code of Points, made the necessary changes and proposed a complete package to the FIG Executive Committee.

At its meeting last weekend in Lausanne (SUI) the EC followed up with a unanimous decision in favour of the proposal as presented by TC President Horst Kunze (GER). The new Code of Points will come into force on 2010 September 1, which means it will be valid for the FIG World Cup in Albacete (ESP), all following World Cups of the Series and the 27th FIG Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships in Metz (FRA) in November.
