Up to 32 clubs. 10 weeks. One online Final 4. The first pan-European MAG club competition, played entirely through the Elevien platform.
ECC is a season-long leading club league in Men's Artistic Gymnastics. Up to 32 clubs from across Europe compete over 10 weeks through the Elevien platform: gymnasts perform at their home gyms, judges score remotely.
The routine scoring stays 100 percent World Gymnastics Code of Points. The team competition layer, with its league standings and points rules, is owned by the ECC and sanctioned by European Gymnastics.
The Final 4 stays online too: from 28 to 31 January 2027 the top four clubs meet in one online event of six matches, every club against every other, played through the Elevien platform, to crown the first ECC champion. Onsite Final 4s in a host city are planned for the future, with no date set.
A season structured for drama at every stage. Eight groups of four play three matchdays, the best 16 clubs of the combined table go straight into the Round of 16, and the Quarter-Finals produce the Final 4, played out online in one finale window from 28 to 31 January 2027.

Download the Prize Pool overview (PDF) →A two-layer system that keeps every routine judged by the World Gymnastics Code of Points, and gives every apparatus win a stake in the league standings. The same logic football applies at match level, applied per apparatus.
Each apparatus is a head-to-head duel: the higher judge score wins it and earns 3 Points for the club. The margin doesn't matter — a win by 0.1 counts the same as a win by 1.5. An exact tie gives 1 point to each club.
Six apparatus per match means up to 18 points on the table. The club with more points wins the match and takes 3 league points.
| Apparatus duel outcome | Points |
|---|---|
| Higher judge score (D + E) | 3 (win) |
| Exact tie (identical scores) | 1 each |
| Lower judge score | 0 (loss) |
| Maximum per match (6 apparatus) | 18 points |

Preview data. Live standings update after every matchday once the season starts.
Every match, every apparatus, every judge. The Rulebook and the Scoring Model are the official documents of the Pilot Season 2026; the cards below summarise them.
Two clubs face off across six apparatus duels: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, High Bar.
One gymnast per club per apparatus, head to head. The higher final routine score wins the duel: 3 Points to the winner, 0 to the loser, 1 each for an exact tie. Up to 18 Points are available in a match.
Each club may include at most one foreign gymnast on its roster.
The judge pool is nominated and approved by the EG MAG Technical Committee (minimum level: international Category 1-3 judges). If a pool cannot be filled at that level, it may be supplemented with judges holding the highest national brevet of the relevant federation. Each round runs as one competition in the Elevien app, so the panel for an apparatus is the same for every gymnast on it in that round.
The club with more Points wins the match. Match win = 3 league points, draw = 1, loss = 0.
All 32 clubs are ranked in one combined table after the group stage, in this order:
Positions 1 to 16 qualify for the Round of 16 (1 v 16, 2 v 15 and so on, fixed bracket). A drawn knockout match is decided by the higher aggregate of the six routine scores, then the higher sum of E-scores, then the higher position in the combined table.
If fewer than 32 clubs are confirmed, the ECC Committee sets the group format before the draw; with fewer than 24 clubs the top 8 go directly to the Quarter-Finals.
The ECC Statement of Clearance, the club-signed registration declaration, is uploaded with the application below.
Clubs apply directly to the ECC Committee. There is no admission playoff and no federation endorsement letter: the club itself confirms its eligibility by signing the ECC Statement of Clearance.
Withdrawal deadline: a club may withdraw and receive a full refund of the entry fee up to the start of the group draw on 20 November 2026. A withdrawal after that date is not refunded, and the place passes to the next club on the waiting list.
Refunds: a club that has paid the entry fee and withdraws before the group draw receives a full refund within 30 days after the withdrawal is confirmed. If the ECC cancels the competition, or the ECC Committee excludes a club for reasons not attributable to that club, the entry fee is refunded in full within 30 days.
An application is complete once the club profile, roster pre-declaration and signed Statement are received. The ECC Committee selects the 32 clubs from the complete applications, primarily so that as many EG member federations as possible are represented; otherwise-equal applications are ranked by the time they were completed. A club accepted for a place pays the entry fee before the competition starts on 23 November 2026. A club that has not paid by then loses its place, which passes to the next club on the waiting list.
The signed Statement declares that the application satisfies the Rulebook: club eligibility, roster and nationality rules, and recording standards. Download the Statement of Clearance (PDF), sign it and upload it with the application.
Your application has been received and a confirmation email is on its way to your representative. The application is complete once the profile, roster and signed Statement are received. The ECC Committee will confirm acceptance by 19 November 2026; the entry fee is payable after acceptance.
