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