Event Scoring System

Understanding the scoring system in gymnastics is essential for athletes, coaches, and fans alike. Each gymnastics discipline has its own unique set of rules and scoring criteria, reflecting the skills and elements performed by the athletes. Here, we provide an overview of the scoring systems used in various gymnastics events.

In artistic gymnastics, scores are based on two main components:

Difficulty Score (D-Score): This reflects the difficulty of the skills performed, including combinations and connections. The higher the skill's difficulty, the higher the D-score.

Execution Score (E-Score): This is based on how well the gymnast performs the routine. Judges deduct points for errors, falls, and imperfect form.
