Under section 6.2 of the FIG Women's Artistic Code of Points 2025-2028:
Final Score = D-Score + E-Score − any penalties, shown to three decimal places.
- The D-panel sets the D-score (content). On bars, beam and floor it includes the highest 8 difficulty values, the composition requirements and connection value. On vault, the D-score is the vault's value in the Table of Vaults.
- The E-panel sets the E-score (execution and artistry), starting from 10.00.
- Penalties (for example time, line, behaviour or attire faults and short exercises) come off the Final Score.
- The All-Around score is the sum of the Final Scores on the four apparatus.
The Code's example: difficulty 3.100 + composition requirements 2.000 + connection value 0.600 = D-score 5.700; E-score 8.666; Final Score 14.366.
Repeating an exercise is not normally allowed. Vault has special rules in qualifications and apparatus finals (section 10).
