==== Program Component Score ====
The judges will award points on a scale from 0.25 to 10 (in increments of 0.25) for three program components to grade overall presentation. As with Grade of Execution (GOEs), the highest and lowest scores for each component are thrown out, and the remaining scores are averaged. The final program components scores are then multiplied by a set factor to ensure the technical score and program components score are balanced.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite web|url=https://www.usfigureskating.org/about/scoring-system|title = Scoring System &#124; U.S. Figure Skating}}</ref>

The five program components are:

* '''Skating Skills''' - The ability of the skater to execute the skating repertoire of steps, turns and skating movements with blade and body control.
* '''Performance''' - The demonstration of engagement, commitment and involvement based on an understanding of the music and composition.
* '''Composition''' - The intentional, developed and/or original arrangement of the repertoire and all types of movements into a meaningful whole according to the principles of proportion, unity, space, pattern, and musical structure.
