Area and timing

The floor measures 12 m by 12 m. A routine may last up to 70 seconds, with an audible warning at 60 seconds. The boundary line belongs to the permitted area.

Using the floor

Acrobatics combine with balance, strength and choreography across the floor. Crossing the boundary can bring a neutral penalty; an element initiated outside the area receives no difficulty credit.

Independent explanations and translations, not official federation publications. This guide explains the supplied FIG men’s artistic Code of Points for 2025–2028. It concerns artistic gymnastics; women’s artistic gymnastics has a separate code and different apparatus requirements. The all-around combines scores from floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. Team formats and qualification places are governed by the competition’s technical regulations.
