Competition Rounds

Each competition consist of one or more rounds. Rounds are the definition of the structure of your competition.
Do your participants do one round of competing or is there a progression e.g. from a qualification round to finals.

*Rounds should not be confused with sessions. The best way to look at rounds is to think of stages such as a qualification or any type of final (team final, AA final, event final, etc…)

How many rounds do I need?

The majority of competitions will have only one round, i.e. all participants are scheduled to compete once (even if exercises of their program can be scheduled in separate sessions) and after the first round the result is final.

If, on the other hand, you have a competition where participants do a qualifying round and then proceed to finals based on the results of the qualifying round, or all participants do a full program multiple times, you will need to add extra rounds for each stage.

What is in a round configuration?

Within each round, you need to select the types of results you need from that round. Options are

• All-around: individual all-around results (in general the sum of all exercises performed in that round, although some competition formats might have a different calculation).
• Events: individuals results for each event (type of exercise) separately.
• Team All-around: all-around results for the teams.
• Team Events: team results per event.

Some of these options are not available in all disciplines.
After selecting the types of results, you can also indicate which type will be the main result for the round.

If you have multiple rounds, you should also indicate which result will be used to qualify for the next round(s). E.g. if you have a qualifying round, a team final and individual event finals as rounds, in the qualifying round you need to indicate that the event results will qualify for the events finals round and that the team result will qualify for the team final round.
