Do not break ties
Gymnasts with the same final score share the same rank — no further comparison is made.

How It Works
Two gymnasts have the same final score.
No comparison is made. Both gymnasts receive the same rank.
The rank method determines whether the next rank skips.
This is the simplest tiebreaker — it skips all comparison logic.
Example
Gymnast
Floor Score
Rank
Alice
13.500
1st
Bob
13.500
1st
Carol
13.200
3rd (with bump) or 2nd (no bump)
Alice and Bob both receive 1st place. No attempt is made to separate them.
When to Use
Recreational or developmental meets where exact placement between tied gymnasts doesn't matter.
Meets where the governing body rules say ties should stand.
When you want the simplest possible ranking behavior.
