The evaluation of individual performances is determined in two steps. First, a technical panel of two specialists and one controller identifies the technical elements. For this purpose, each element presented by the skater gets instantly evaluated and reviewed using a combined scoring and HD video replay system. Slow-motion, magnification of certain picture areas and return motion help the panel to define the base value of the elements.
A panel of ten judges then verifies the quality by entering marks for the grade of execution (GOE). To ease the verification, the judges can also review the skaters´ performances using the video replay system. Once the marks are entered on a touch screen tablet PC, the total element score is calculated and distributed to all the peripherals such as TV graphics, scoreboard, CIS and Internet.

Experienced Swiss Timing technicians set up the scoring system including HD video replay, operate the ISUCalcFS software and provide technical support to the judges and the event referee.
