Qualification

One qualification round determines finalists for the rest of the competition phaseseach gymnast competes for her team and herself at the same time (remember, like the player on a baseball team). Four members of every five member team perform on each apparatus (so every each team shows four gymnasts in all events, but not every gymnast needs to compete in every event). The highest three of the four individual scores for each event are combined and added to the teams overall score.
