The Black Top Trampoline code update is applicable with immidiate effect.
Changes in execution deductions and termination rule for a straight jump in a routine in FIG code, made adjustments necessary in Black Top Code.
Furthermore, after careful consideration it was decided that the 6 and under routine was too difficult for this age group and this routine was made easier.
