Competition format

All pairs and groups are required to perform two exercise in qualification: a balance and a dynamic routine of which the combined score will determine the all-around finalists. The top 8 advance to the all-around final, or the top 6 if there are less than 12 participants, with a limit to 1 per country. In the final the combined routine will be performed. The top 8 per exercise also advance to the individual finals.
