What the sub-type covers. The founder's list says "Trampoline". Individual trampoline is the Olympic event and takes the first two files. The FIG's trampoline code also governs synchronised trampoline, tumbling and double mini-trampoline, so the third file gives each of those one page. If the founder would sooner have tumbling and double mini-trampoline as their own sub-types, each needs a fuller read of its code.
Not covered: the drawings in appendix A (the displacement zones on the bed, the arm positions, the double mini landing zones), which the text copy does not carry; the FIG numeric system for writing elements; the Technical Regulations (tie-breaks, safety and the number of spotters, inquiries); the apparatus norms (sizes of the trampoline, track and double mini); the Olympic format; the junior and age-group rules beyond a few mentions; execution deductions for tumbling and double mini-trampoline (articles 19 of each).
