Anastia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby made their international debut as a Pair on the opening day of the competition. A 45.79 in the short program followed by 86.77 in the free skate was enough for 12th place.

McKay was then awarded 105.28 in her free skate to finish 15th , Robertson ending in 25th place after her free skate score of 65.48.
