SCORING: Rules that govern gymnastics scoring are determined by the FIG. At major competitions, four to eight judges sit at each piece of apparatus. Two judges determine the start value based on difficulties, special requirements, and bonus met. The remaining judges deduct for execution and composition only. Each of the judges arrives at a score independently. The high and low scores are discarded while the remaining scores are averaged.

JUDGING: For each routine, the gymnast begins with less than a perfect score. For women, the competitor starts with a 9.00 while men start with an 8.60. Judges make deductions for flaws in execution and for any missing requirements in the composition of the exercise.

The judge may award bonus points (additive value), up to 1.2. Thus, the perfect routine, including additive value, is awarded a score of 10.00. Gymnastics skills are divided into six levels of difficulty. Levels range from "A," which is the easiest, to "Super-E," the most difficult. Each routine must have a minimum of 4 "A", 3 "B" and 3 "C" difficulty parts.

Judging Panels:

A - Establish the start value (the maximum content value) based up on difficulty parts, special requirements and additive value of the exercise
B - Evaluate the execution faults, rhythm, presentation and artistry.
