Vault score decision
Choose whether vault uses one attempt, the average of two, or the best of two.
Prerequisites
Why vault is different
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.
The three options
One Vault Only
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.
Two Vault Average
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
Two Vault Best
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
Separate all-around and apparatus decisions
The level stores a default for each ranking context. New competitions copy both defaults, so a vault final can use a different calculation from 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 default is One Vault Only for all-around and Two Vault Best for the vault apparatus. Results, exports, projector leaderboards, and the spectator app all read the competition's stored pair; none supplies a temporary override.
How it affects tiebreaking
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?.
How second vault entry works
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.
