in 1997, the world cup was revived as a series of qualifying events for a period of two years, culminating in a final event that was known as the world cup final. the different stages, known as world cup qualifiers, mostly served the purpose of awarding points to gymnasts according to their placements. these points would be added up over the two-year period to qualify a limited number of gymnasts to the biennial world cup final event. in 2001, fig hosted the world series for aerobic gymnastics for the first time, equivalent to the world cup format. fig introduced the first world cup series in acrobatic gymnastics in 2003. both aerobic and acrobatic world cup series were also competed in a two-year period, with a world cup final (or world series final) event closing the calendar. the world cup final format lasted for these disciplines until 2007. in 2008, the world cup final format was terminated for the other disciplines: artistic, rhythmic, trampoline and tumbling.
