Apparatus

The team event in a Cup System

First and second rounds

While the first round remains unchanged with ten teams, teams ranked 9 and 10 are now eliminated after the first round. The remaining teams’ points earned at the first round are carried over to the second one. Four additional teams are eliminated after the 2nd round. Four teams are left for the semi-finals.

Semi-Finals

From the semi-finals on (3rd round), the system goes to a Cup system (two teams against each other). The remaining four teams start again with 0.00 point.

Finals

The winners of both semi-finals qualify for the big final (ranks 1 and 2) and fight for the title. Both losers fight for ranks 3 and 4. The teams start again from scratch.
