Skaters can make as many attempts as they wish within the eight-minute time frame. The head judge is responsible for making sure that skaters who have taken fewer attempts, get the priority for taking the next attempt. Some skaters will only choose to take a couple of tries at a trick, while others will take as many attempts as possible. The top 10 skaters proceed to the finals.
