Standings per nation edit

Starting in the 2015–16 season, the ISU added standings per nation. Points were calculated for each discipline separately before being combined for a total score per nation. For each discipline, each nation combined the points from up to four JGP events. A country did not have to use the same events for each discipline (e.g. a country can combine points from JGP events in France, Japan, Russia, and Slovenia for pairs while using Czech Republic, Japan, Estonia, and Germany for ice dance). For each discipline at each event, each nation combined the points from up to two skaters/teams. The points that each skater/team earned is based on placement. Placement to point conversion was the same as for qualification, with first place earning 15 points, second earning 13 points, etc. In the event ties in the total scores, the country with the fewer skaters/teams (only counting skaters/teams from whom points were combined), won the tie breaker. If the tie was not broken, the nations would have the same rank.[13]

The current standings were:[14]

9   China 10 0 21 0 31
10   Australia 0 0 18 0 18

Qualification edit

At each event, skaters earned points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the seventh event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advanced to the Final. The points earned per placement were as follows.[11]

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
10th 1

There were originally seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Participated in two events.
  4. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events.
  5. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event.
  6. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events.
  7. Highest number of total participants at the events.

If a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
