Scoring

edit

Skaters competed in both the short program/rhythm dance and the free skating/free dance segments for their team. Each segment was scored separately. The points earned per placement are as follows:[1]

Placement Points (Singles) Points (Pairs/Dance)
1st 12
2nd 11
3rd 10
4th 9
5th 8
6th 7
7th 6
8th 5
9th 4
10th 3
11th 2
12th 1

Tie-breaking within a segment:

  1. If two or more skaters, pairs, or ice dance couples have the same rank in the short program or rhythm dance, then the total technical score will be used to break ties.
  2. If two or more skaters, pairs, or ice dance couples have the same rank in the free skating or free dance, then the total components score will be used to break ties.

If these results do not break the tie, the competitors concerned will be considered tied. The team points will be awarded according to the placement of the skaters/couples in each discipline.

Tie-breaking within team standings:

  1. The highest total team points from the two best places in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
  2. If they remain tied, the highest total segment scores of the two best places according to the team points in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
  3. If they remain tied, the highest total team points from the three best places in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.
  4. If they remain tied, the highest total segment scores of the three best places according to the team points in different disciplines of the current phase will break the ties.

If these criteria fail to break the ties, the teams will be considered as tied.
