The Olympics have done so much for the popularity of trampolining. In Sydney 2000, Trampolining was featured at the Olympics for the first time.

Consequently, sales of back yard trampolines sky-rocketed.

Here are the rules of the Olympic Trampoline category:

Rules
There are individual competitions (qualifications and finals) for men and women.

In principle, the duration of the event is 2 days. Entry for these competitions is restricted by qualification.

Trampoline, Tumbling and Double Mini-Trampoline competitions (qualifications and finals) are held in the following disciplines:

Trampoline Men’s Synchro

Trampoline Women’s Synchro

Tumbling Men’s Individual

Tumbling Women’s Individual

Double Mini-Trampoline Men’s Individual

Double Mini-Trampoline Women’s Individual

The entry for these competitions is restricted by qualification.

In the event of un-sportsmanlike conduct by any competitor or official, the Chair of Judges Panel and/or Superior Jury, and/or the official FIG Representative, will issue a warning. He will inform the Head of Delegation at the end of the round as to any warning so issued.

In the event of repeated misconduct, the Chair of Judges Panel and/or Superior Jury, and/or the official FIG Representative, may order the expulsion of the offender from the competition hall for the remainder of the competition.

An incident resulting in expulsion must be reported to the Secretary General and to the offender’s Federation. Further action may be taken as deemed necessary by the Executive Committee or Disciplinary Commission.

Dressing and undressing during competitions and warm-up periods in the designated competition area, is judged as an un-sportsmanlike gesture and may result in disqualification of the competitor from that competition.

The members of the TC Trampoline Gymnastics shall officiate as judges. The missing number of judges are appointed by the TC TRA. The host country of the Olympic Games has the right to nominate one judge in good standing and with a valid brevet.

All Finals in competitions under FIG authority in TRA, TU and DMT can be conducted either as described under these special regulations or as a “knockout” competition, where the gymnasts of the top first half of the finalists

compete head to head in a single voluntary against the gymnasts of the second half of the finalists and so on, until the last two gymnasts compete against each other for first place or the remaining gymnasts after a first head to head round compete for title and remaining places in a second voluntary.

This kind of Final has to be agreed by the FIG TC Trampoline, the FIG EC and the organiser.

If a gymnast or pair has to withdraw from the Final because of injury or illness, the next placed gymnast/pair from the Qualification Round will be allowed to start in the Final. These changes have to be announced at least 1 (one) hour prior to the start of the Final.
