# Team calculator settings

These settings control the team calculator, a tool that builds team standings from individual results without changing how the meet itself is scored. You find it in the meet's tools, reached from within an open meet. Use it to model team outcomes under different rules.

***

## Team size

**What it does.** The number of gymnasts that make up a team.

**What it affects.** How many gymnasts the calculator groups together when forming each team from a club.

**When to use it.** Set it to your competition's team size.

**Default.** 5.

***

## Contributing scores

**What it does.** How many of a team's scores count toward its total.

**What it affects.** The calculator drops the lowest scores beyond this number, so only the top contributing scores add up. This is the common "count the best N of M" team rule.

**When to use it.** Set it below the team size when some scores are dropped, for example 3 of 5. Set it equal to the team size to count every gymnast.

**Default.** 3.

***

## Top teams

**What it does.** How many teams to show in the results.

**What it affects.** Limits the standings to the highest-ranked teams.

**When to use it.** Set it to the number of places you want to display or award.

**Default.** 10.

***

## Result source

**What it does.** Which competition's results the team standings are built from.

**What it affects.** The scores the calculator reads. Use this when a meet has more than one qualifying round.

**When to use it.** Choose the round whose results form the team standings.

**Options.**

| Option              | What it means                                   |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Qualification       | Build teams from the main qualification round   |
| Qualification day 2 | Build teams from the second qualification round |

**Default.** Qualification.

***

## Score selection method

**What it does.** How the contributing scores are chosen for each team.

**What it affects.** Whether the calculator takes the best scores per apparatus or the best all-around gymnasts.

**When to use it.** Match it to your team rule. Per-apparatus rewards apparatus specialists; all-around rewards well-rounded gymnasts.

**Options.**

| Option                     | What it means                                                                                 |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Top N scores per apparatus | Takes the best contributing scores on each apparatus, regardless of which gymnast earned them |
| Top N all-around gymnasts  | Takes the best all-around gymnasts and counts all their scores                                |

**Default.** Top N scores per apparatus.
