USAG T&T Trampoline competition is governed by a mobility system divided into 12 levels. Levels 1-10, Junior Elite, and Elite consist of 2 passes. Mobility up to level 9 is left to the coach's discretion in-gym. Mobility past level 9 must be achieved at a sanctioned event and must be judged by a rated panel.
Scoring consists of the sum of 3 aesthetic scores plus a difficulty award (optional routines only, level 10 and above) for each routine. Routine scores are cummulative. Routine requirements and mobility requirements are listed below.
