To keep on the tight schedule, mostly two, during the semi-finals even three, juries will be ready. Herman Markvoort (NL), responsible person for jury in the International Technical Comitee, is planning the disposition of the judges in Lillehammer.

All judges will meet on Wednesday, one day before the Championships will start, to discuss again the last modifications of the judging rules. One of the improvements is concerning the constitution of the juries. For the first time, four judges - before two - will assess the musical presentation of the freestyle in straight-on. Like the score for execution, the highest and the lowest score will be cancelled and the average of the two remaining scores will be added to the final score of the freestyle exercise. During the past world-championships, there were over and over discussions on the score of the musical value.
