| Format | Each team consisted of six competitors. The team score was derived by adding up the total of the individual scores. In the track & field events, scores past 10 were allowed for the team event. However, in each track & field event, the maximum a team could score was 60 points, or 10 points per competitor. Thus, the maxima were 180 points for the three track & field events, 270 points for the apparatus work, and 450 points overall. | |
There were 13 teams entered, with gymnasts from three nations, but in actuality, all 13 teams were from American turnvereins. They represented 10 American cities, with two from St. Louis and three from Chicago. Each team consisted of six gymnasts with their scores from the Individual All-Around, Apparatus Work and Field Sports event added together to determine the team placements, although there were some adjustments because of pre-determined maxima for each phase. First place went to the Philadelphia Turngemeinde which was led by Austrian Julius Lenhart, who had won the individual event and actually only lived in Philadelphia for a few years before returning to Austria. Germany tried to enter a team but were rebuffed, as not all the German turners were members of the same club.
