Vault styles are broken into various groups or families. To compete in a vault final, a gymnast must perform two vaults from different groups whose second flight phase is not identical.<ref name=MAGCOP2022>[https://www.gymnastics.sport/publicdir/rules/files/en_%202022-2024%20MAG%20CoP.pdf MAG COP 2022-2024] p. 101</ref><ref name=WAGCOP2022>[https://www.gymnastics.sport/publicdir/rules/files/en_2022-2024%20WAG%20COP.pdf WAG COP 2022–2024] 10.3</ref>
