Trampoline Canterbury Interclub:  Trampoline and Double Mini Championships

COMPETITION RULES AND PROTOCOL

                                                                                                         

Background:  The T.C.I. # Series has been running since 2010 and has been an important part in the promotion and development of the sport in Canterbury. Initially it was just the three Christchurch clubs (ICE, CSG and Olympia) that participated but for the last 4 years we have welcomed Dynamic of Ashburton as the 4th Canterbury club. We have seen many other South Island clubs compete over the years, they are always welcome, but not eligible for the overall trophies awarded at the end of each year.  Each of the three Christchurch based clubs host one of the series,  ICE Term 1, CSG Term 3, and Olympia Term 4. Term 2 sees ICE host the Primary and Intermediate Schools championships so there is a Recreational competition available each term.

The T.C.I. competitions are split into 3 different categories, Badge, Age and International.

BADGE Competition Rules

Badge has 4 divisions, Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Competition has Trampoline and DMT events in each division, with the athletes DMT level the same as Trampoline. Boys and Girls compete separately and there is no restriction on age at any of the levels. 

Trampoline event consists of two 10 bounce routines, the first being the set badge routine (available on the ICE website) and the second being a voluntary that can be a repeat of the set routine. Athletes cannot perform, in their voluntary routines, the limiting factor skills from higher grades.

DMT event consists of two, two skill passes.

GNZ rules of competition generally apply but the Judges at this level are very aware of development and encouragement factors for young and inexperienced athletes. There is no specific uniform required. The number of judges per panel, is flexible, but all must have a minimum GNZ judging qualification.

Promotional flyers are always provided around one month prior to the clubs who are likely to attend. All clubs attending are required to bring judges, level and number can be negotiated with the host club.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In 2019 the AGE Group division of TCI # 1 (hosted by ICE Trampoline) was a National Championships qualifier. This was due to Superbounce (March 9/10) being an International only competition. TCI # 2 and TCI # 3 will not be National qualifiers. The entry fee for the AGE group division in TCI # 1 will be higher than standard due to the extra GNZ requirements for competition and there will be no international division. Points for the overall series will be taken from Superbounce.

NB: This does not apply in 2020 due to Covid 19.
