The rules for the sport, known as the Code of Points, are governed by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique.
Major competitions
Acrobatic gymnastics events form part of the World Games as well as having a dedicated Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships (known as World Sports Acrobatics Championships prior to 2006). The acro competitions take a score out of 30.
History
The first use of acrobatics as a specific sport was in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and the first world championships were in 1974.
In addition to the current five categories, two additional categories for tumbling (men's and women's) were included until the 1999 World Championships, though some groups still involve tumbling events.[1]
