BERG GTGamesUS 2021:

The following is a breakdown of the “competition” system of the BERG GTGamesUS. It is important to emphasize that this year’s Event will focus more on judging execution and creativity, not difficulty; with an overall impression based on how creative and in control your skills are:

Execution 50% - The level of accuracy and precision the athlete is able to maintain during the skills. Is it safe and controlled? 

Creativity 30%- How unique are the athletes tricks compared to other athletes? Includes unique positions in the air and unique combinations.

Difficulty 20% - How many flips and twists the athlete accomplishes 

It is important to note that this year the BERG GTGamesUS will be based on creating more publicity around the event and increasing the safety awareness level. We have carefully chosen a wide range of athletes from the hashtag submissions to compete in both junior and senior age groups. We will also have new competition categories to also highlight the new upcoming #GTramp athletes, as well as those who are still considered the 'best' and the pioneers of the sport. Juniors will be from age 11 to 13 and Seniors are from 14 and up.  You must be 11 years old as of the competition date to be accepted. 

We are creating a new awareness for the #GTramp community, not the actual determination of specific skill levels and quantifiable results comparing athletes. As the awareness grows different categories, styles of competition and opportunities will become available.

Athletes should be supportive of each other no matter what the competition outcome is. Although there is always a bit of controversy as to judging and scoring subjective movements, our judges have taken an oath to use their best discretion in an open and fair system and their acrobatic background to judge based on overall creativity, control/execution and degree of difficulty. This is why we have chosen judges within the freestyle and traditional communities that are well known for their integrity and knowledge. 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 sets if any of the judges deem 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 #GTramp Athletes to take training seriously and to inspire education and safety for the community as a whole. Any dangerous bouncing will not be permitted.
