In trampolining competitions, each gymnast is required to do a 10 move routine, consisting of flips, spins and shape jumps. Each bounce counts as the start of a move, but gymnasts bounce a couple of times to get to a suitable height to perform their moves.
Each gymnast starts their routine with 10 points. The gymnast's score is calculated by deducting points for incomplete moves, travelling or for bad form (not keeping their body straight, etc.). More points are added on for the degree of difficulty (tariff or DD) which is determined by the amount of half turns and quarter flips in a routine.
The highest ever DD at a trampolining event is 18.00, set by Canadian Jason Burnett in 2012. 16.5 is the usual DD for top olympic competitors.
