Each judge independently determines his or her Difficulty Score, and then the two judges must come to a consensus. The Execution Score rates the performance in terms of execution and artistry. The Execution Score is determined by five judges on the E Panel. The score begins at 10, and deductions for errors in execution, technique, or artistry are subtracted from this baseline. Judges separately determine their scores for a routine, the highest and lowest scores are dropped, and the average of the remaining four scores becomes the final Execution Score.
