A 2006 rule change in Gymnastics breaks a straight line from earlier seasons to later ones. This Gymnastics guide keeps 2006 open scoring as the worked example and 10 points in a game as the count held still, and it names FIG because the public frame reaches back to 1881.
Before and after 2006 open scoring, the figure 10 points in a game may not mean the same thing. Footnote the break, name FIG, and keep 1881 as the year the older frame began. Say that figure out loud, then open the era control or the linked section on purpose. This is a reading of the Gymnastics atlas, not a bet, not a prediction, and not an official FIG ranking.

Start with "The season before the change". For Gymnastics, the concrete case is 2006 open scoring, and the count you hold still is 10 points in a game. FIG is the body named here; 1881 is the reference year, so you are reading a published frame rather than inventing a rank.
The next check is "The season after the change". Keep 2006 open scoring in view while 10 points in a game stays the unit, because mixing a different count would make the Gymnastics comparison look sharper than it is. FIG has been the public frame since 1881.
Pause on "The figure that is no longer comparable" before you treat every prize as the same kind of fact. 2006 open scoring is the example, 10 points in a game is the count, and FIG does not ask this atlas to publish an official Gymnastics order. The reference year is 1881.
Close the loop with "How to footnote the break". After you can say 2006 open scoring and 10 points in a game out loud, open the linked Gymnastics section. The anchors remain FIG and 1881. This page still does not forecast a result.
This page shows how to read the Gymnastics comparison around 2006. It is not an official FIG ranking, not a prediction, and not a betting note.
