Individual Score Settings

Tiebreaker

Chooses how ties are broken when two gymnasts have 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
All-Around Score	Higher all-around total wins (apparatus ties only)
Cascading All-Around	Drop lowest apparatus score and compare; repeat until broken
Cascading AA then E then D	Cascading all-around first; if still tied, compare E then D
Oldest Age Wins	Older gymnast wins
Youngest Age Wins	Younger gymnast wins

You can set separate tiebreakers for:

• 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 specifically for vault apparatus ties (has an additional option: Best of 2, E then D)

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

Vault Score Decision

Controls how vault scores are calculated when gymnasts perform two vaults.

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)

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.

Require Score Verification

When enabled, scores must be explicitly verified by an admin before they become final. When disabled, submitted scores are treated as final immediately.

Treat Subdivisions as Award Groups

When enabled, gymnasts within each subdivision are ranked separately — each subdivision has its own 1st, 2nd, 3rd place. When disabled, all gymnasts across subdivisions in a competition are ranked together.

Defaults

If you don't change anything, Gym Art Meets uses these defaults:

Setting	Default
Individual tiebreaker	Compare E then D
All-around tiebreaker	Compare E then D
Vault tiebreaker	Compare E then D
Vault score decision	One Vault Only
Rank method	Bump on Tie
Require verification	Off
Subdivisions as award groups	On
