 The marks for each program ran from 0.0 to 6.0 and were used to determine a preference ranking, or "ordinal", separately for each judge; the judges' preferences were then combined to determine placements for each skater in each program.The placements for the two programs were then combined, with the free skate placement weighted more heavily than the short program.The highest scoring individual (based on the sum of the weighted placements) was declared the winner.
