Judging

All of the technical elements in any figure skating performancesuch as jumps and spinsare assigned a predetermined base point value and then scored by a panel of nine judges on a scale from −5 to 5 based on their quality of execution. The judging panel's Grade of Execution (GOE) is determined by calculating the trimmed mean (the average after discarding the highest and lowest scores), and this GOE is added to the base value to come up with the final score for each element. The panel's scores for all elements are added together to generate a total elements score. At the same time, judges evaluate each performance based on three program componentsskating skills, presentation, and compositionand assign a score from 0.25 to 10 in 0.25 point increments. The judging panel's final score for each program component is also determined by calculating the trimmed mean. Those scores are then multiplied by the factor shown on the following chart; the results are added together to generate a total program component score.
