No, I think this will be like Montpellier where a team does 12 routines, not 10 like last year.

According to the drawing lot:http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/site/site/download?fileId=2128. Each country does 10, not 12 routines....

That's a good question. I think qualification to the AA will be as usual, 3 routines count.

I'm not sure though how many routines count into the team competition, a lot of countries are with only 2 gymnasts. But I think it should be 10 (it cannot be 12, no. 3 gymnasts are listed with 2 apparatus). That would mean that for example the hosts, Germany are not starting in the team competition.

The latest version states that:

"The best ranked eligible NOCs not already qualified as per the results of the Individual ranking of the Qualification Competition (CI) of the 2015 World Championships (22 quota places)"

Which is plain stupid. This means that for example if Ukraine cannot qualify 2 gymnasts directly (AA top 15 at the Worlds), they can only have one in Rio, as the NOC already has qualified.

That's a good rule for us, but looks absolutely stupid, to be frank. This punishes the countries with a not top 15, but mid-high level 2nd gymnast (or countries with 2 mid-high level gymnasts, see Finland).

This certainly favors powerhouses, and Ukraine has actually good chance to have two qualified I think. Certainly also Russia, ISR, BLR maybe BUL. So only another five countries are left: KOR,GEO,UZB,FRA and AZE. Who will be punished: UZB, AZE,JPN , USA, GER, SPA etc.

I'm highly doubtful that BUL can qualify 2 gymnasts in the top 15. Also, not sure about UKR. I think RUS and BLR are sure to have 2 gymnasts and ISR very likely.

I'd add Finland to the ones who will suffer, they have two potential top 25 gymnasts but no top 15s.

Will individual AA qualification or CI count 3 or 4 routine scores for AA finals?

Actually, only Russia will have two gymnasts for sure. BLR has two good gymnasts, but one of them is not stable, same for ISR, and Ukraine. Actually, this system only favor Russia, according to me.

IIRC it's 3 scores out of 4 for qualification into AA final. The automatic Olympic qualification spots will be decided by the final itself, so 4/4 there.

Well it's not their problem that only they have 2 dead certain top 15s Mr. Green

I bet Halkina will made it into the top 15 and I'd risk a bet for both Israelis, too, but indeed, Rivkin especially is prone to meltdowns.

Yes, it definitely sucks for them. It dawned on me that the qualification system is in line with IOC's wishes, which goes for universality, so a wide range of nations should be qualifying.

?? Why mention them in the first place? Are they invitiing gymnasts to the test event who can not qualify (hc) ?

Yes.

All Olympic test events have to be in the very same format as the Olympic events, so the organisers need to have 26 gymnasts. 22 going for qualification + host gymnast + 3 medalists from Stuttgart (it was the same in London, just with 24).

I believe only those top 15 plus 16-24 who can qualify will be allowed in test event. So all future Olympians will have a test run in Rio.
