Vault score decision
Last updated
Choose whether vault uses one attempt, the average of two, or the best of two.
Vault is the one apparatus where gymnasts may perform two attempts. The vault score decision controls how the final vault score is calculated from those attempts.
Only the first vault score counts. The second vault (if performed) is ignored for ranking.
Judges enter one score per gymnast on vault. This is the most common setting for lower levels.
Both vault scores are entered. The average becomes the final vault score.
Example:
Vault 1: 13.500
Vault 2: 13.200
Final vault score: 13.350
Both vault scores are entered. The higher score becomes the final vault score.
Example:
Vault 1: 13.500
Vault 2: 13.200
Final vault score: 13.500
The vault score decision determines which vault score feeds into the all-around total:
One Vault Only
First vault score
Two Vault Average
Average of both vaults
Two Vault Best
Best of both vaults
The leaderboard vault dropdown lets you toggle between these options when viewing results, regardless of the level setting.
When the vault tiebreaker is set to Best of 2, E then D, the system:
Compares the best vault score (using Two Vault Best logic).
If tied, compares the best execution score from both vaults.
If still tied, compares the best difficulty score from both vaults.
This tiebreaker is only available for vault apparatus ranking. See How do tiebreakers work?.
When Two Vault Average or Two Vault Best is selected:
The Judges Companion shows an Add Second Vault button after the first vault is scored.
The second vault is stored as a separate score linked to the first.
Both scores appear in the admin score view.
See Handle vault scoring for the judge and admin workflows.
