Meet Format:
Each squad has a six-person team that is a combination of junior and senior level gymnasts.  The team and all around finals are held in the first session. The team competition is 6-5-4, which means all six may compete on each apparatus, with five designated on each event to compete for the team score and the four best scores of the five are used.  The top eight for each apparatus, with two per country, will advance to the event finals.  There is one team competition, but junior and senior awards for the all-around and event finals.
