There are also championship titles for balance or dynamic exercises. These differ fundamentally in character. All exercises must be choreographed to instrumental music for a maximum of two and a half minutes. One of the three exercises shown may include singing in the music. From 2021 music with singing can be chosen for all three exercises. There must be 6 elements in each exercise. In the combined exercise 3 balance and 3 dynamic elements.
There are five acrobatic disciplines:
- Female couples
- Male couples
- Mixed pairs (lady, gentleman)
- Women groups (3 women)
- Groups of men (4 men)

The competitions will continue to be divided into age groups of pupils, youth, juniors and seniors.
In all compositions, the requirements of the Code of Point (rules for sports acrobatics) and those of the freestyle catalog must be taken into account. Both are revised by the FIG every four years and passed on to the federal states. Special characteristics for Germany are regulated in the competition regulations of the DSAB.

Internationally, there are world championships, European championships and, more recently, the Youth Olympic Games for selected disciplines.
It is assessed in three categories: technique, artistry and difficulty.
In the technical version, points are deducted from 10 and at the end this is doubled so that a maximum of 20 points can be obtained. Up to one point may be deducted per element. A fall is always penalized with one point deduction (since it is doubled, it is actually two points deduction).
In the artistry there are at least 5 and a maximum of 10 points, which are awarded for musicality, expression and originality, among other things.
The difficulty is open at the top, but usually only makes up a small part of the total number of points, since 10 difficulty values only bring in a tenth of a point and more than 300 values, i.e. 3 points, are rarely achieved.
