Medal table
Qualification At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the seventh event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:
Placement Singles Pairs/Ice dance 1st 15 15 2nd 13 13 3rd 11 11 4th 9 9 5th 7 7 6th 5 5 7th 4 4 8th 3 3 9th 2 rowspan="2" 10th 1
There are seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points: Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events. Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another. Participated in two events. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events. Highest number of total participants at the events.
If a tie remains, it is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
