Format of competition

WAG

Each of the events, except the team exercise with portable apparatus, was judged by five judges. The highest and lowest marks were dropped and an average of three remaining ones constituted the score. The team exercise with portable apparatus event was judged by eight judges. Two highest and two lowest marks were dropped and the sum of four remaining marks, multiplied by two formed the team's score.


The team consisted of eight gymnasts. Each team member performed compulsory and optional routines on each of four apparatus. She could also repeat the compulsory routine, then only the repetition was counted. This rule was applied for all apparatus, except the vault. On both compulsory and optional vaults a gymnast performed two attempts, the better to count. Gymnast's scores in these performances counted for all of the events, except the separate team exercise with portable apparatus event, which was some sort of group rhythmic exercises. Scores of gymnasts from incomplete teams counted only for individual events.


In the team competition event six best scores constituted the team's score for the routine. These scores and the team's score in the team exercise with portable apparatus event constituted the overall team's totals.
