Competition format

All pairs and groups can perform two exercises in qualification: a balance and a dynamic routine of which the combined score will determine the all-around finalists. All federations advance to this final but with a limit of 1 per country. In the final the combined routine will be performed and that score added to the previous total.

The top 8 advance to the individual finals, or the top 6 if there are less than 12 participants, with a limit to 1 per country.
