Manage flights

Sometimes a rotation has too many gymnasts to compete at the same time on one apparatus. When that happens, you split the rotation into two flights. Flight A goes first, Flight B follows.

Prerequisites

What flights are

A flight is a subgroup within a rotation. Instead of sending 12 gymnasts to an apparatus at once, you send 6, then 6. This keeps the floor manageable and the timing predictable.

  • Flight A -- the first group of gymnasts

  • Flight B -- the second group

Flight A competes on the apparatus, then Flight B takes over. The split applies at every apparatus the rotation cycles through.

Steps

  1. Open the rotation you want to split.

  2. Set the Flight Division -- this is the index where the split happens. Gymnasts before the division point go into Flight A. Gymnasts after it go into Flight B.

  3. The split is applied automatically.

Example

A rotation with 12 gymnasts and a flight division at index 6:

  • Flight A: Gymnasts 1 through 6

  • Flight B: Gymnasts 7 through 12

Things to keep in mind

If you do not set a flight division, the entire rotation competes as one group. Flights are optional.

Reordering gymnasts within the rotation changes who ends up in which flight, since the division is based on position in the list.

Flight divisions are especially useful for vault, where two-vault gymnasts may need separate handling to keep timing consistent.
