The Combined Total Elements Score (not including Component Scores) is calculated by adding the Skaters/Couples highest Technical Elements Score in Short Program / Rhythm Dance and the Free Skating / Free Dance and must have been reached in an ISU recognized International Competition (as per Article 39, paragraph 7 of the ISU Constitution and Rule 107, paragraphs 1 to 10 of the ISU General Regulations) during the ongoing or preceding season (See ISU Special Regulations Single &Pair Skating Ice Dance, Rule 378, paragraph 4). The Skaters/Couples highest Technical Elements Score in Short Program / Rhythm Dance and the Free Skating / Free Dance to calculate the Combined Technical Elements Score may be reached at different competitions.
The Minimum Technical Elements Score must be reached 28 (twenty-eight) days before the first day(first official practice day) of the Championships concerned (same as entry deadline).
If it would become evident that the number of entries based on the Combined Total Elements Scores listed above would be significantly higher or lower than expected, the ISU Council reserves the right to adjust the Combined Total Elements Scores in order to achieve the above-mentioned objective. ISU Members will be informed latest 45 days prior to the entry deadline of the respective Championships if the announced required Combined Total Elements Score will be adjusted or will remain as announced. In case of the continental Championships the announcement for both European and Four Continents Championships will be made 45 days prior to the entry deadline of the earlier Championships, in this case the European Championships.
