🏆Score settings
Learn how to configure scoring and ranking settings for levels and age groups in GymArt Meets competitions.
Overview
The Score Settings tab provides comprehensive control over how scores are calculated, ranked, and displayed for each level. These settings determine tie-breaking rules, subdivision handling, and team scoring configurations that affect competition outcomes and results presentation.
Subdivision Award Group Control
Treat Subdivisions as Award Groups
Functionality:
Controls whether subdivisions within age groups are treated as separate award groups
When enabled, each subdivision maintains its own independent rankings
When disabled, all subdivisions within an age group are ranked together
Impact on Rankings:
Enabled: Subdivisions compete separately - gymnasts only ranked against others in same subdivision
Disabled: All gymnasts in age group ranked together regardless of subdivision assignment
Use Cases:
Large Age Groups: Split 60 gymnasts into 2 subdivisions of 30 for more manageable competitions
Session Management: Different subdivisions assigned to different competition sessions
Fair Competition: Ensures balanced competition within each subdivision
Tie Breaking Configuration
Individual Tie Breaker Methods
Ranking Algorithm:
Primary Sort: Gymnasts sorted by final score (highest first)
Tie Breaker Application: When final scores are identical, apply selected tie breaker
Rank Assignment: Assign ranks based on sort order and bump method
Available Tie Breaker Methods:
Execution Score (eScore): Compare execution scores first, then difficulty scores
Difficulty Score (dScore): Compare difficulty scores first, then execution scores
All Around Score: Use all-around total for tie breaking
No Tie Breaker: Maintain tie (same rank) when scores are identical
Tie Resolution Process:
Compare primary scores based on selected method
If still tied, compare secondary scores
Only assign different ranks if tie breakers resolve the tie
Team Tie Breaker Methods
Team Ranking Algorithm:
Team Score Calculation: Sum top N gymnast scores per team (based on team score count)
Primary Sort: Teams sorted by final team score (highest first)
Tie Breaker Application: When team scores are identical, apply selected method
Rank Assignment: Assign team ranks based on sort order
Available Tie Breaker Methods:
Execution Score: Compare team execution scores, then difficulty
Difficulty Score: Compare team difficulty scores, then execution
All Around Score: Use team all-around totals for tie breaking
No Tie Breaker: Maintain team ties when scores are identical
Ranking Method Control
Individual Ranking Methods
Bump Ranks on Tie:
Enabled: Tied gymnasts share rank number, next rank skips (1, 1, 3, 4...)
Disabled: Tied gymnasts get sequential ranks (1, 1, 2, 3...)
Team Ranking Methods
Bump Ranks on Tie:
Enabled: Tied teams share rank number, next rank skips
Disabled: Tied teams get sequential ranks
Team Competition Impact:
Affects team standings and award distribution
Maintains consistent ranking methodology across team events
Influences team advancement and final placements
Team Score Configuration
Team Score Count
Score Aggregation:
Top N Selection: Takes the highest N gymnast scores from each team
Team Total Calculation: Sums the selected top scores to create team total
Minimum Requirement: At least 1 score must be counted
Example Calculation:
Team A Gymnasts final scores: 9.2, 9.0, 8.8, 8.5, 8.0 (5 gymnasts)
Team Score Count: 3
Top 3 scores: 9.2 + 9.0 + 8.8 = 27.0
Team A Total: 27.0Validation and Constraints
System Protections:
Positive Integer: Team score count must be ≥ 1
Respects Team Size: If this number is greater than the number of gymnasts on the team, it will take all the gymnasts' scores
Real-time Updates: Changes immediately affect team calculations everywhere (Gym Art mobile app, score printouts, projectors, etc.)
Age Group-Specific Overrides
Per-Age-Group Configuration
Granular Control:
Score settings can be configured independently for each age group within a level
Override level-wide settings for specific age groups
Maintain different scoring rules for different age divisions
Implementation:
Age group-specific tie breakers
Individual subdivision handling per age group
Customized team scoring per age group
Example Configuration:
Level 1 (7-8 years): Bump ranks on ties, count top 2 team scores
Level 1 (9-10 years): No bump on ties, count top 3 team scores
Level 2 (All Ages): Use default level settings
