The first two days sees all the riders compete in the Grand Prix with the total of the best three scores from each nation deciding the medals in the team competition.
It's not just about the medals though with the top six nations securing entry to the team event at Paris 2024. The top 30 from the Grand Prix make it through to the Grand Prix Special with the first individual medals awarded based on these scores.
The top 15 in the Grand Prix Special go through to the most difficult and prestigious test, the Grand Prix Freestyle to Music (often shortened to Grand Prix Freestyle), where the riders perform their own choreography although it must still contain certain mandatory movements.
There are two individual medal events at the World Championships as opposed to just one at the Olympic Games. The competition format at Tokyo 2020 was based solely on the Grand Prix Freestyle for which there were 18 qualifiers (from the Grand Prix Special).
