The skaters were drawn using the same method that is used for the Singles skaters in all ISU Championships (Euros, 4CC, JW, Worlds):
First, the skaters were divided in two equal groups according to their ISU World Ranking.
The 16 skaters with either no ranking or lowest ranking skate in the earlier group, and they drew for the order of skating in those first 3 groups, which is:
1 Charissa TANSOMBOON
2 Tina WANG
3 Corenne BRUHNS
4 Lejeanne MARAIS
5 Kristine LEE
6 Abigail PIETERSEN
7 Siobhan McCOLL
8 Melinda Sherilyn WANG
9 Crystal Wynewyne KIANG
10 Tamami ONO
11 Phoebe DI TOMMASO
12 Stacy PERFETTI
13 Yueren WANG
14 Tiffany Ting-Ye WU
15 Morgan FIGGINS
16 Gracielle Jeanne TAN
The top 16 ranked skaters are in the later groups to skate. This group was subdivided into two smaller groups, again by ISU World rank.
The top 11 of those 16 skaters are in the last two groups to skate, and they drew for order of skating in those two groups, which turned out to be:
22 Beatrisa LIANG
23 Ashley WAGNER
24 Binshu XU
25 Miki ANDO
26 Yan LIU
27 Mao ASADA
28 Chae-Hwa KIM
29 Joannie ROCHETTE
30 Fumie SUGURI
31 Na-Young KIM
32 Mira LEUNG
Finally, the remaining 5 skaters from the top group of 16 drew for order of skating in the middle group to skate.
