BRITISH GYMNASTICS COMPETITION LOGBOOK VERSION
1 – 2008 Introduction
The competitor
logbook has been developed to help clubs and performers develop
competition techniques. The moves and combinations are designed to be
included in holistic personalised performer programmes and to encourage
long-term athlete development. It is part of
the competition structure being introduced in October 2008. Clubs may
begin taking advantage of it now to help develop their performers and to
be ready for competition in October. Overview
of Competition Levels The competition
levels have been graded to progress from novice (Club I) to top national
and international performance (FIG A). Development Levels: Club I and Club HThe first two levels are I and H - the ‘Jump Start’ stage- which are either run within a club or may
be run regionally. The emphasis is on participation and fun whilst
developing good technique. Performance Levels: Regional G to Regional EThe next levels are designed for LTAD stage – “Learning to Train.” These assessments/competitions are ideally
run regionally four times a year and are the early learning stages for
competition i.e. presenting oneself in public, wearing competition
uniform, learning to control nerves, gaining consistency of performance
in completing routines and knowing and understanding the competition
rules. Regional G to
Regional E is designed to be performance related. The focus is on
whether a routine is completed successfully rather than competing
against others who may have more or different experience.
(Although Regional D is competed at
regional events it is developmentally part of the Training to Compete
stage – see below) National League: Regional D to FIG AThese levels represent ‘Training to Compete’ and ‘Training to Win’ on the LTAD structure. They are run as
traditional competitions and Nat. C to FIG A are held nationally. FIG A
and FIG B will apply FIG International rules unless stated in the
competition handbook. National C and Regional D will include some BG
modifications that can be found in the competition handbook. Long Term
Athlete Development (LTAD) A fuller explanation of this term is
included in the coaching Resource Packs for Coach and above.
The term LTAD was originally used by Balyi, (1990) in describing
the nature of an elite competitor’s development from early sporting and
movement experience to elite success. It was descriptive, (of one
sport), and theoretical. The stages have now become useful labels for
discussing systems and this document uses similar names: •
Jump start •
Learning to train •
Learning to compete •
Compete to win These stages are not associated with any
particular age, but with people’s overall (mental, physical and trampolining) development. LTAD is now
often used to describe any effort to provide a better pathway for Trampolinists from beginner to elite.
A competition system cannot itself provide this pathway; the
performer’s environment is made up mainly by coaches, peers, parents and other
significant others. However,
the competition system can enable or discourage appropriate behaviours
from these people. This competition system is designed to achieve the
following primary outcomes:
Progression from
Club I to FIG A Progression to a
higher level once qualified is not compulsory. Club
I to Club H
To progress from
Club I to Club H, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves.
The performer must be assessed in two separate assessments on the
compulsory and voluntary routine, and meet the criteria for height,
travel, and form score. These assessments may be by their own coach in the club, or
in regional competitions. The voluntary tariff is not included in the
total. Club
H to Regional G
To progress from
Club H to Reg. G, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves.
The performer must be assessed in two separate assessments on the
compulsory and voluntary routine, and meet the criteria for height,
travel, and form score. These assessments may be by their own coach in the club, or
in regional competitions. The voluntary tariff is not included in the
total. Regional
G to Regional F
To progress from
Reg. G to Reg. F, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves.
The performer must be assessed and meet the criteria for height,
travel, and form score, using Compulsory routine 1 and Compulsory
routine 2 at separate assessments. These assessments must be in regional
competitions. The voluntary tariff is not included in the total. Regional
F to Regional E
To progress from
Reg. F to Reg. E, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves.
The performer must be assessed and meet the criteria for height,
travel, and form score, using Compulsory routine 1 and Compulsory
routine 2 at separate assessments. These assessments must be in regional
competitions. The voluntary tariff will be counted. Regional
E to Regional D
To progress from
Reg. E to Reg. D, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves.
The performer must be assessed and meet the criteria for height,
travel, and form score, using Compulsory routine 1 and Compulsory
routine 2 at separate assessments. These assessments must be in regional
competitions. The voluntary tariff will be counted. Regional D to National CTo progress from
Reg. D to Nat. C, it is strongly advised that a performer completes the
logbook drills and individual moves prior to entering the qualifying
competition. To earn the
right to a promotion trial at National C, a competitor must earn points
in competition at Regional D. Points are gained by finishing in the
promotion zone, and lost by finishing in the relegation zone. On
reaching two points, competitors may trial in a National C competition;
if they finish outside the relegation zone they become a National C
competitor, starting on zero points.' At each
competition, a percentage of the highest placed performers are awarded
one point each, and a percentage of the lowest placed performers lose
one point each. Juniors (Under 15) and Seniors (15+), Male and Female,
are ranked separately. (If a competitor already has two points when they
compete, they will not be able to accrue further points). The actual
percentages are published at the beginning of each year and can be found
in the competition hand book. While the
authoritative record of the points held by each competitor are
calculated and recorded by the competitions committee, it is strongly
advised that performers keep their own record in the logbook. Use the
draft points results published following the event (either on the
internet or in the competition hall). National C to FIG BTo progress from
Nat. C to FIG B, a performer is strongly advised to complete the logbook
drills and individual moves prior to entering the qualifying
competition. Promotion to FIG
B is by accumulating points as for Reg. D to Nat. C. Reaching minus
two points results in the next competition being a relegation trial at
Regional D. In the trial if a competitor finishes in the promotion zone
they are entitled to trial at National C, otherwise they will start the
next competition as a Regional D competitor on zero points. FIG B to FIG AProgression from
FIG B to FIG A the process is the same as progression from Nat. C to FIG B,
(see above), (ie qualification is achieved through accumulating 2
points). Similarly getting 2 minus points will result in downgrading.
Trampolinists must be at least 15 in the year of competition to compete
in FIG A. Choosing which
Level to Enter in 2008/2009 New
Entrants
Trampolinists
new to competition must start at Club I. It is advised that the
performer be assessed by the coach in the club using the logbook, with
additional assessment at regional competitions if regions choose to run
them. It is advised that a performer should then progress through each
level in turn, completing the logbook requirements for moves and drills
in club, and the routine assessments. From Regional G onwards the
routines must be assessed at Regional competition. Trampolinists

Qualifying score
for National C: 50.0 Competitors who
do not meet this score must not enter any level above Reg. D Qualifying score
for FIG B (achieved in validation group): 52.0 Grade
3 in 2008
Competitors who
score 50.0 in 2008 may start Regional D with +1 points in October. Arrangements for
the 2008 Season The existing
competition structure for individual trampoline will continue during the
2008 season until the National finals. During the season, coaches should
help their competitors prepare for the 2008/2009 season by working
through the log book. Competitors who
during the 2008 season achieve their qualifying score to the Grade above, may
choose whether to progress to that grade during the season as normal. At
the end of the 2008 season, when choosing your level for the 2008/2009
season, the last Grade at which you competed shall apply. Log Book
Requirements How to use the logbook
Language
A glossary has
been provided for competitive levels from Club I to National C. Trampolining language has developed
historically. The use of more accurate language throughout the new
structure is to assist the competitor and coach in making accurate and
precise internal representations of the moves they are
executing/teaching. For example, it is not appropriate to talk of a ¾ BSS (S) as a ‘lazy’ back, and many coaches have
problems teaching ‘crash’ dives. Evidence suggests that it is easier to teach a ¾ BSS (S) and ¾ FSS (S). These are just two very obvious
examples. Our trampolining language is littered with such ambiguous and
anomalous language. It is recommended that coaches adjust their language
to communicate precisely so that they receive the response they want
from the competitor. An easy-reference guide is provided in this
logbook. The Use of ‘Push in’ Mats The use of ‘push in’ mats in developing moves and combinations
is discretionary. The logbook requires moves and combinations
to be performed on the trampoline with a controlled out bounce except
where it has been specified that the ‘push in’ mat must be used. Normal coaching
practice should be followed in teaching the moves which should then be
transferred onto the trampoline bed when executed confidently,
consistently, controlled and with technical accuracy. When trying a move
from a jump (arm set) for the first time it might be necessary to use
the mat. Jump (Arm Set) The logbook
requires the jump (arm set) to be used as preparation for the execution
of many different moves and drills. It is advised that all moves are
taught in accordance with current coach education guidance and that the
jump (arm set) is introduced to precede a move before a shaped jump is
used. For example, teach jump (arm set), jump to seat landing, to feet,
before teaching tuck jump, jump to seat landing, to feet. It may be
easier to teach the drills listed in CI and CH with the arms above the
head before teaching with the jump (arm set) for the logbook. Jump (arm sets)
are necessary as an early introduction to normal routine ‘starts’ throughout trampolining. It also allows the routine to be accurately
timed as no time score can be given unless the routine commences with a
jump (arm set). Coaches should
take time to develop the jump (arm set) as a fundamental skill in its
own right. Personal

Club I Club I and Club H are designed to introduce
the trampolinist to moves, combinations and routines which incorporate
the basic principles required in all trampolining. Coaches are advised
to focus on minimal rotation, good basic posture and body alignment,
high straight jumping into all elements (developed progressively) and to
develop the trampolinist’s awareness of first contact, maximum depression and last contact in each
jump. The following
moves and drills should be completed in the log book to a maximum
deduction per skill of 0.2 before entry into Club I assessment. It is suggested
the completed, signed logbook be brought to Club I assessment. Requirements

Regional D Entry into Reg. D is the final competitive
level before entering national competition circuit events. The logbook
moves and combinations are designed to introduce the more advanced
trampolinist to the concepts and early progressions for double and
twisting somersaults. They also ensure experience of somersaulting to
and from back and front landings. Coaches are advised to focus on
creating strong basic jumping technique into moves before and following
somersaults and retaining the rhythm of the jump whilst applying optimum
rotation to maintain even height. The Reg. D move requirements should be
completed in the logbook to a maximum deduction per move of 0.2, before entry into Reg. D competition. It is suggested
the completed, signed logbook be brought to Reg. D competition. Requirements
must be completed as written. Compulsory D

Time Assessors: Stopwatch Instructions1. Press the start (ST./STP.) button as the
performer’s feet touch the trampoline before his/her first contact. This will be
obvious due to the jump (arm-set). 2. After the
fifth contact, when the feet touch the trampoline, press the lap
(LAP/RESET) button. The display will show the time for the first five
contacts. 3. After the tenth contact, when the feet
touch the trampoline, press the stop (ST./STP) button. The time for the
first five contacts is still shown. Write this first-five time down. 4. Press the lap (LAP/RESET) button again
to show the total time for the routine. Write this total time down. Working out Time Assessors MarksThe time
assessor does not need to be a qualified judge; a judge, coach, or
experienced competitor may be shown the method. However it is suggested
several practice routines are assessed to get used to using the
stopwatch. Calculating
using an Excel Spreadsheet
The easiest way to work out the marks is to
type the first-five time and total time into the Excel spreadsheet. This
will tell you the mark to show. If one Assessor misses the routine (or
if there is only one time assessor), just leave the second judge’s spaces blank. Calculating
by hand: Time Mark
If there are two
time assessors, average the total times from Assessor 1 and Assessor 2. This
is the Time Mark. Record it rounded to the nearest 0.1 seconds. Calculating
by hand: Maintenance of Height Mark
If there are two time Assessors, average
the total times and the first-five times. Subtract the first-five time from the total time to give the last-five time. Divide the last-five time by the first-five time. This is the Maintenance of Height Mark. Record it as a percentage, rounded to the
nearest percent. If fewer than
ten moves are performed, the time marks are zero. Travel AssessorThe travel
assessor does not need to be a qualified judge; a judge, coach, or
experienced competitor may be shown the method. However it is suggested
several practice routines are assessed to get used to using the
stopwatch. The landing from
each move is assessed, giving a total of ten deductions for a complete
routine. Coloured tape is
attached to the frame pads of each trampoline used in the competition,
to allow assessors to easily make their assessment. (The central zone is
one third the total length of the metre box, splitting it into thirds). The trampoline
area is split into zones; each zone is given a deduction to be made when
a trampolinist lands in it.
Landings
on Feet
The lowest
deduction should apply for the complete foot. For example, if a
trampolinist lands with their feet across the 0/0.2 line, a deduction of
0 will apply. For cast to the side of the trampoline, one foot must be
completely outside the line for the deduction to apply. There is only
one deduction per move. Landings
on Seat, Front or Back
The deduction
shall be made based on the position of the belly-button on landing (This approximates the position of the
centre of mass, within 20 cm). Jump (Arm Set) Reference to ‘Jump’ before shaped jumps and an arm set (or **)
has been used to encourage the coach and competitor to train a vertical
jump into all basic jumps. The arm set or shaped part of the jump should
be seen as an ‘interruption’ to the basic jump hence creating a delay
with correctly aligned posture into shape or arm set. The jump (arm
set), commonly known as an ‘arm set’, takes its name from the action of the ‘setting’ down of the arms in preparation for
take-off into a move, generally a first move. Hence the setting action
refers in sequence to: 1. The lifting
up of the arms to a vertical position above the head 2. A touching
down ie. setting of the arms to the sides of the body 3. Passing the
arms in front of the body upwards to create a vertical position at the
bottom of the trampoline with the arms directly and straight above the
head. The body is now in the correct position for the take-off phase. |
