The pairings for the Super Final were determined from the placements of the short and Long Programs. From those results, the pairs in first and second place competed against each other head-to-head as did the pairs in third and fourth, and the teams in fifth and sixth place. Previous scores were dropped and the final placements were determined from the final free skate.
