All-around score
Break apparatus ties by comparing the gymnasts' all-around totals.

Prerequisites
Set up your levels before configuring tiebreakers.
Configuration
In your level settings under tiebreaker configuration, choose "All-Around Score" for your apparatus tiebreaker. This is for when you want a gymnast's overall performance to decide apparatus ties.
How it works
Two gymnasts have the same final score on a specific apparatus.
Compare their all-around final scores (the sum of all apparatus scores). The gymnast with the higher all-around total ranks first.
If all-around scores are also tied, the gymnasts share the same rank.
The idea is that the gymnast who performed better across the whole competition earns the tiebreak on a single apparatus.
Example
Two gymnasts tie on Uneven Bars with a final score of 13.200:
Alice
13.200
52.800
1st
Bob
13.200
51.600
2nd
Alice wins on Bars because her all-around total (52.800) is higher than Bob's (51.600).
Apparatus vs all-around context
This tiebreaker is most useful for apparatus ranking. When used for all-around ties, it has no effect because the all-around scores are already equal. That is the tie you are trying to break. For all-around ties, use Cascading All-Around instead.
When to use
When you want apparatus ties broken by overall competition performance.
Meets where the best all-around competitor should win individual apparatus ties.
Not recommended as the all-around tiebreaker (use Cascading instead).
