Five numbers add up to one score
Every skill's Degree of Difficulty is five independent values, summed and rounded to one decimal. See what builds each one, then watch it happen on five real skills.
Based on the FIG Code of Points 2025–2028 for Trampoline Gymnastics.
Anatomy of a skill code
The five components
Somersault value
Completed full somersaults map to fixed values, capped at a quad. Each leftover quarter-turn beyond the last completed one adds 0.1.
Twist value
0.1 per half-twist. A flat rate — no threshold, no cap.
6 half-twists → 0.6
Twist excess bonus
Twisting a lot on a multi-somersault skill earns extra — past a threshold that gets looser as somersaults increase. Doubles earn 0.1, triples and quads earn 0.2.
Position value
0.1 per completed somersault — only for pike or straight. Tuck never scores here. A twisting single somersault scores zero, regardless of position.
Backward skills bonus
Backward skills get an extra bonus indexed by completed somersaults — applies to every position, including tuck.
Routine bonus
A full routine adds 0.3 per triple, beyond a category threshold — 2 elements for women's routines, 5 for men's.
