Configure rotations
Rotations determine how gymnasts move through apparatus during a session. You set the apparatus order, create rotation groups, and the system handles the cycling. This page covers both the automatic and manual approaches.
Prerequisites
Steps
Open the session you want to configure.
Go to the Rotations section.
Set the apparatus order. This is the sequence gymnasts rotate through. For WAG, a typical order is: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, Floor Exercise.
Create rotation groups. Each rotation is a group of gymnasts that starts on a specific apparatus and moves through the order together.
For each rotation, set:
Starting apparatus -- which apparatus this group begins on
Gymnast list -- which gymnasts are in this rotation
How rotations work
Picture a WAG session with 4 rotations and the apparatus order Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor:
Rotation 1
Vault
Bars
Beam
Floor
Rotation 2
Bars
Beam
Floor
Vault
Rotation 3
Beam
Floor
Vault
Bars
Rotation 4
Floor
Vault
Bars
Beam
Every rotation competes on every apparatus, cycling through the order you defined. After each round, everyone shifts to the next apparatus in the sequence.
Inferred vs. explicit apparatus order
Visual guide: View the rotation assignment diagram in Figma
Gym Art Meets supports two approaches.
Inferred order (default)
The system figures out the starting apparatus for each rotation based on how many rotations you have and the standard apparatus list for the discipline. With 4 rotations in WAG, it assigns Rotation 1 to Vault, Rotation 2 to Bars, Rotation 3 to Beam, and Rotation 4 to Floor.
This works for most meets. If your setup is straightforward, you can leave it on inferred and move on.
Explicit order
You can override the starting apparatus for each rotation manually. This is useful when you want a non-standard rotation order, when you have fewer rotations than apparatus (so some apparatus start empty), or when specific gymnasts need to start on a specific apparatus.
To set it, edit each rotation's starting apparatus in the rotation configuration.
What's next
Assign gymnasts to rotations -- fill rotations with gymnasts
Manage flights -- split large rotations into smaller groups
