SCHEDULE:
From the FIG website this sums up the importance of this competition in qualifying to the 2016 Rio Olympics:
In Stuttgart, each Group will compete for one of 10 Group berths to the Rio Olympics. Individuals who rank 1st through 15th in the All-around final in Stuttgart will earn their national federation the right to send a gymnast to the Games, with a maximum of two places per country to be won.
The next 22 gymnasts (places 16-38) who do not qualify directly to the Olympics via the Stuttgart All-around will earn a place at the Rio Test Event, where the top six will qualify to the Games. Up to three additional gymnasts will earn places at the Olympic Games if they hail from continents who have not already qualificed a gymnast to the Games.
The format is similiar in Rhythmic Group Gymnastics. The top six Groups who do not qualify directly to the Olympic Games will advance to the Rio Test Event, where the top three Groups at that competition will qualify to the Games. The Test Event is set for April in Brazil.
