A Global Event Series
The Freestyle Trampoline Association has created a global event series aimed at trampoline parks around the world to bring the T.R.A.M.P CHAMP Series to the massive amount of #gtramp flippers who enjoy fun, friendly competitions.
The main focus of this Series is to offer a few select “golden tickets” for young athletes to attend the GTGamesUS, GTGamesEU or GTGamesANZ awarded to the winner of each event. Crowned the ‘TRAMP CHAMP’ we award them an automatic entry to the GTGames, the pinnacle competition event of the freestyle community. Therefore, we only have locations targeted for the Series in each region Europe, US and Australasia. These Games are the pinnacle of flipping competitions worldwide and the trampoline parks are the perfect feeder system to what is considered the best of the best showcase. These events are part of the Freestyle Trampoline Association, in partnership with GRT Network Inc.
T.R.A.M.P CHAMP COMPETITION RULES
The following is a breakdown of the “competition” system of the TRAMP CHAMP series presented by the FTA and the #GRTCrew.
Acrobatic skills that seem dangerous or inconsistent and not ready for competition will not be allowed.
All athletes are encouraged to only showcase skills they are confident in and ask for help if need be. With many years of experience in the sport of trampoline, gymnastics, tricking and tumbling, our judges understand what is a true demonstration of skill and what is simply “chucking it.” Judges have the right to stop athletes from performing skills that are dangerous. At first the athlete will be asked nicely to pick another skill, or do a few more preparations if any of the judges deem any athletes to be jumping dangerously. If the athlete gives undue attitude, disrespect or blatantly ignores the judge or organizer, they may be removed from the field for the entire event.
This is a promotional event to inspire G-Tramp Athletes to take training seriously and to inspire education and safety for the community as a whole. Dangerous bouncing will not be permitted.
