For the first time, gymnasts will be able to qualify directly to the Olympic Games through the FIG World Cup series.
Nations that qualify full teams to Tokyo will have a chance to qualify an additional two gymnasts as individuals through the World Cups, while nations that do not advance with full teams will have opportunities to earn berths through the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart (GER) and through the World Cup series.
Points will be awarded by placement on each individual apparatus over eight World Cups taking place through March 2020, with two each in Cottbus (GER), Melbourne (AUS), Baku (AZE) and Doha (QAT). The top 12 gymnasts on each apparatus earn points, with 30 points for first place, 25 for second, 20 for third, through 5 points for 12th place.
