Calculate a senior/open FIG tumbling pass difficulty by adding up to eight credited element values and applying the current women’s or men’s multiple-difficulty bonus.
FIG Tumbling Pass Difficulty Formula
The FIG Tumbling Code adds the difficulty value of each credited element. It then adds 1.0 for each qualifying high-value element after the first: 2.0 or more for women and 4.4 or more for men.
How the Calculation Works
The calculator applies the displayed scoring, summation, or energy relationship to the visible required inputs.
How to Use This Calculator
- Keep the listed result selected in the Solve for menu.

- Use Reset before starting a new routine or scenario.
Worked Example
Eight credited values of 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 2.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.2, and 2.2 sum to 5.4. In the women's category, two elements meet the 2.0 threshold, so a 1.0 bonus produces 6.4.
Input and Result Guide
| Item | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Element DD | Look up the exact skill in the current FIG Appendix G table and enter the value actually credited. |
| Eight positions | A pass can contain up to eight credited elements; enter zero in unused positions. |
| Women's threshold | Each credited element worth at least 2.0 counts toward the multiple-difficulty bonus. |
| Men's threshold | Each credited element worth at least 4.4 counts toward the multiple-difficulty bonus. |
| Landing and repeats | An element not credited under the code must be entered as zero. |
Interpreting the Result
The result is a difficulty subtotal for one FIG tumbling pass under the selected category. The displayed base and bonus make it possible to check the arithmetic against a judge's element list.
Assumptions and Limitations
This calculator does not identify skills, determine whether an element lands on the feet, apply repetition rules across exercises, check junior or age-group caps, enforce prohibited skills, or calculate execution. Enter only official credited values from the applicable 2025–2028 table; use zero for an unused or uncredited position.
Common Questions
Why is there only one Solve for option?
This tool has one defined output. The selector keeps the workflow consistent with other Calculator Academy calculators.
Will my last successful calculation be restored?
Yes. The calculator saves enabled source values and the successful result in this browser. Reset clears that saved state.
