Vault score decision
Choose whether vault uses one attempt, the average of two, or the best of two.
Prerequisites: Configure individual score settings.
The Three Options
Vault is unique in gymnastics because gymnasts may perform two attempts. The vault score decision controls how the final vault score is calculated.
One Vault Only
Only the first vault score counts. The second vault (if performed) is ignored for ranking purposes.
Judges enter one score per gymnast on vault.
This is the simplest and most common setting for lower levels.
Two Vault Average
Both vault scores are entered, and 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, and the higher score becomes the final vault score.
Example:
Vault 1: 13.500
Vault 2: 13.200
Final vault score: 13.500
How It Affects All-Around
The vault score decision determines which vault score is used in 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.
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.
