Individual routines must last between 1min 15sec to 1min 30sec, while group routines must last between 2min 15sec and 2min 30sec. Gymnasts are penalised for every second under or over the time limit.
Individuals are allowed to use only one apparatus at a time and must perform four separate routines using four of the five apparatus. Gymnasts compete in a preliminary round, with the top 10 progressing to the final. The finalists begin with a clean slate.
In the group competition, teams perform two exercises. In the first, the team members use identical pieces of apparatus and in the second exercise a combination of two different pieces of apparatus. The top eight teams from the preliminary round progress to the final.
