- Panel GOE: the trimmed mean of the judges' GOEs. The highest and lowest values are deleted and the rest averaged. If fewer than five scores are entered for an element or component, all entered values are used. The result is rounded to two decimal places.
- Element score: the element's Base Value plus the panel GOE. The Total Element Score is the sum of all element scores.
- Program components: each component's panel score is also a trimmed mean, rounded to two decimals, then multiplied by a factor and rounded to two decimals. The three factored results are added to give the Program Component score.
- Junior and Senior factors (applied to each of the three components):
- Short program: Women and Pairs 1.33, Men 1.67.
- Free skating: Women and Pairs 2.67, Men 3.33.
- Segment score: Total Element Score plus factored Program Component scores, plus any bonuses, minus any deductions.
- Second-half bonus: in Junior and Senior singles the Base Value (not the GOE) of the last jump element in the second half of the short program, and of the last three jump elements in the second half of the free skate, is multiplied by 1.1 and rounded to two decimals. The second half starts in the middle of the required time, ignoring the 10-second allowance.
