Individual score settings

Control how individual gymnast scores are calculated, ranked, and tied for a level.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. From the meet admin, go to Levels.

  2. Select the level you want to configure.

  3. Open the Score Settings section.

  4. Configure the settings described below.

  5. Save your changes.

Tiebreaker

This controls what happens when two gymnasts end up with the same final score on an apparatus or all-around.

Option
How it works

Do not break ties

Gymnasts share the same rank

Compare E then D

Higher execution wins; if still tied, higher difficulty wins

Compare D then E

Higher difficulty wins; if still tied, higher execution wins

Use All Around score

Higher all-around total wins (apparatus ties only)

Cascading All Around

Drop lowest apparatus score and compare; repeat until broken

Cascading All Around then E then D

Cascading all-around first; if still tied, compare E then D

Oldest Age

Older gymnast wins

Youngest Age

Younger gymnast wins

You can set separate tiebreakers for three contexts:

  • Apparatus ranking - Used when two gymnasts tie on a single apparatus

  • All-around ranking - Used when two gymnasts tie on the all-around total

  • Vault ranking - Used for vault apparatus ties (has an additional option: Best of 2 Vault then E then D)

See How do tiebreakers work? for detailed explanations and examples of each algorithm.

Vault Score Decision

When gymnasts perform two vaults, this controls how the final vault score is calculated.

Option
How it works

One Vault Only

Only the first vault counts

Two Vault Average

Average of both vaults

Two Vault Best

Best score of the two vaults

See How vault score decisions work for details.

Rank Method (Bump Ranks on Tie)

This controls how rank numbers are assigned after a tie.

Option
Example (3 gymnasts, top 2 tied)

Bump on Tie

1st, 1st, 3rd

No Bump on Tie

1st, 1st, 2nd

See How bump ranks on tie works for details.
