The team event consists of a qualification phase and a finals phase, broken into skating’s traditional short and free programmes.

In the qualification phase, the athlete will present their short programme to earn points for their nation /team.

The skater in first earns 10 points, second nine points, third eight points and so on. It is then followed by the finals with the top five teams qualifying for the free skate, where the winner will perform their free programme. Nations are allowed to change up to two athletes (or teams) – if they have more than one in each discipline – between the short programme and the free skating.
