Scoring & ranking
Your team gets the same number of points as the percentile of your rank on the apparatus. First on an event scores 100, last scores 0. Beat 80% of the other athletes and you bank 80 points for your team. Team points reset every round.
Two panels per apparatus. One judge evaluates difficulty and one evaluates execution. Battle Royale women are judged at Level 10 under USAG rules, Battle Royale men at Senior FIG rules, and Mini Royale at Xcel Platinum under the USAG Xcel Code of Points.

Ties
- Tied gymnasts share the places they would have occupied and each takes the average
- Total summed execution breaks a team tie
- Total summed difficulty breaks next
- Highest routine is dropped and teams are compared again
- If no step breaks the tie, teams split the prize
The tie-break steps are a deciding round, never a sudden-death format.
