SS 17.2.3 In the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Junior Championships and World Cups, for the Free Routine and Free Combination sessions, each judge shall award three scores, from 0-10 points each (see SS 17.1). Technical Merit judges shall award scores for Execution, Synchronisation and Difficulty. Artistic Impression judges shall award scores for Choreography, Music Interpretation, and Manner of Presentation.

For each of the six components of the Free Routine (Technical Merit: Execution, Synchronisation, and Difficulty; Artistic Impression: Choreography, Music Interpretation and Manner of Presentation), cancel the highest and lowest award (one each) for each set of components. Add the remaining awards, divide the sum by the number of judges less two (2). Multiply the result by the factors in SS 17.2.1 for Technical Merit and SS 17.2.2 for Artistic Impression to get the component score.

The Technical Merit Score shall be the sum of the Execution, Synchronisation and Difficulty scores. The Artistic Impression Score shall be the sum of the Choreography, Music Interpretation, and Manner of resentation scores.

The Free Routine score shall be the sum of 50% of the Technical Merit score and 50% of the Artistic Impression score, less any penalty deductions from rules SS 18.1 and 18.2.
