Please explain how women's gymnastics events are scored.

I'm going to the Senior Women's Final of the Visa US Gymnastics Championships tonight. I was an avid gymnastics fan through around 1988, but a lot has changed since then. I always watch it during the Olympics and I have to admit I never bothered to try to understand the new system. Is there someone who could give me a cliff notes version of how the scoring works?

Thanks, ericb. I had read the second article, but I guess I failed at google because I didn't see the NYT article until your post. Very helpful!
