For the team competitions, the number of gymnasts in a team is 6 (but sometimes with a minimum of 3 -this situation can occur if a club does not have enough gymnasts in a particular level).
There are many options for team compositions, depending on the competition. Some of these:
At the Olympics and other major international competitions, there are 6 gymnasts in a team and 3 compete on each apparatus, with all 3 scores contributing towards the team score.
At other competitions, there are 6 gymnasts in a team - 4 compete on each apparatus and the best 3 scores count towards the team total.
The other option is where there are 6 gymnasts in a team and all compete, with the best 4 scores counting. This situation often occurs when all gymnasts must complete all apparatus (such as a qualification for the next round).
