Artistic gymnastics: apparatus and the code of points

The six men's and four women's apparatus, the D and E scores, deductions and apparatus sizes.

The outline, topic by topic

Each topic is weighted the way the exam weighs it.

D score: what is it?
Show the answer
The difficulty score: element values, group requirements and connections, with no ceiling.
It is added to the E score.
A gymnast falls off the beam, then finishes cleanly. What does she lose?
- One point on the E score
- Her whole score
- One point on the D score
- Nothing if she remounts fast
Show the answer
One point on the E score
A fall costs one execution point.
E score: what is it?
Show the answer
The execution score, starting from 10, minus technique and form deductions.
Final score = D + E, minus neutral deductions.
Why can a score exceed 10 today?
- The E score is now marked out of 20
- The open D score is added to the E score out of 10
- The judges' marks are added up instead of averaged
- A music bonus is added to the mark out of 10
Show the answer
The open D score is added to the E score out of 10
The "perfect 10" disappeared in 2006.
