The FIG Code of Points

The FIG Code of Points is a set of official rules and guidelines used to evaluate gymnastics routines, particularly for artistic gymnastics. It details how routines are scored based on difficulty (the complexity of movements) and execution (precision and form). Each move has a assigned difficulty value, and judges deduct points for mistakes like falls or poor technique. The goal is to encourage athletes to perform innovative, challenging routines while maintaining high technical standards. The code ensures fairness, consistency, and safety across competitions worldwide by providing a standardized framework for judging gymnastics performances.
