Qualification
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:[
There were originally 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 remained, it was considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
