GOEGrade of execution
The judges can give plus points if they think an    
element was well executed or minus points if they   
think the element was badly executed. The judges    
use the scale from -5 to +5 for this, as shown in   
the columns J1, J2, ...                             

The highest and the lowest scores are removed, and  
the mean value of the rest gives the correction.    
Each point is worth 10 % of the element's base      
value. The correction is called "grade of execution"
(GOE).

ScoreProgram component score
The score for a given program component     
equals the mean value of the judges scores. 

If more than three judges are present, the  
lowest and highest score are removed        
before the mean value is calculated.        

To get the total score, each mean value is  
multiplied by a factor from the column      
"Factor" and added.               

The scores given here are unofficial and    
can contain errors. Please check against    
the official results.
