Competition format
These European Championships are for juniors (15 to 17 years old) and seniors (18+). The juniors compete in 5 categories: individual men (IM), individual women (IW), mixed pairs (MP), trios (TR) and groups (GR) while the seniors also add Aero Dance (AD) to their programme. The Aero Step category did not have enough participants so will be performed out of competition.
The qualifications for juniors (Friday) and seniors (Saturday) determine the team standing and the finalists. The top 8 of IW, IM, MP, TR and GR advance to the final with a maximum of 2 per country except groups where only 1 per country can qualify. The top 6 of AD advance to the final, maximum 1 per federation.
The team ranking list will be established by adding the 4 best rankings obtained during the qualifications in the following categories: Individual Men or Individual Women, Mixed pairs, Trios and Groups. The Federation with the lowest number of points is declared Team European Champion.
