GTGames
THE GTGames is a 3 event global garden trampoline series started in 2017 by Greg Roe to showcase the best #gtramp athletes from North America, Europe and Australasia. Each year, the FTA looks at online Instagram submissions using the GTGames hashtag to choose the best athletes.
The GTGames are not focused on analytical judging, but more as an overall impression, based on:
-
Difficulty - How many flips and twists the athlete accomplishes.
-
Execution - The level of accuracy and precision the athlete is able to maintain during the skills. Is it safe and controlled?
-
Creativity - How unique are the athletes tricks compared to other athletes? Includes unique positions in the air and unique combinations.

Community Guidelines
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 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 deemed dangerous. .
