Sunday, 14 February 2010

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.
