It depends upon the kind of meet and how many competitors there are and the process of judging. A private club gymnastics meet is going to last a lot longer because there are going to be a lot of kids competing in the meet. Those meets generally last around 4 hours. A college gymnastics meet will usually last about two hours depending upon how many teams are competing. When the judges use pencil and paper and are required to do all the math themselves, it takes them a little longer to get things going as opposed to the judges that do it all electronically.
