The ISU Judging System (IJS) is the scoring system that has been used since 2003 to judge the figure skating disciplines of men's and women's singles , pair skating , and ice dance . It was designed and implemented by the International Skating Union (ISU), the ruling body of the sport, and is used in all international competitions sanctioned by the ISU. The ISU Judging System replaced the previous 6.0 system , and was created, in part, in response to the 2002 Winter Olympics figure skating scandal , in an attempt to make the scoring system more objective and less vulnerable to abuse.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Up to and including the 2017–2018 season , the Grade of Execution (GOE) scoring system for each program element ranged between +3 and -3. Starting with the 2018–19 season , the GOE was expanded to range between +5 and -5.[ 4] Hence, the International Skating Union (ISU) have restarted all records from the 2018–19 season and all previous statistics have been marked as "historical".[ 5] Accordingly, this page lists only the highest scores achieved from the 2018–19 season onwards, using the +5/-5 GOE scoring range.
These lists include: Records (current record holders; technical and component record scores; progression of record scores), Personal bests (highest personal best (PB) scores, highest PB technical element scores; highest PB program component scores, and Absolute bests (lists of absolute best scores). For the personal best lists, only one score is listed for any one skater. The absolute best lists may include more than one score for the same skater.
The ISU only recognizes the best scores that are set at international competitions run under the ISU's rules, and does not recognize, for example, scores that are obtained at national figure skating championships. The competitions recognized by the ISU are: Winter Olympics (including the team event), Youth Olympics (including the team event), World Championships , World Junior Championships , European Championships , Four Continents Championships , GP events , Junior GP events , Challenger Series events , and World Team Trophy .[ 6]
