Overview

The ISU Council had implemented the former world standings system for single & pair skating and ice dance for several seasons before 2010. The world standings system for synchronized skating and the season's world ranking had not been implemented until 2010. According to the "ISU Communication 1629" and "ISU Communication 1630" published by the ISU on July 21, 2010, the ISU Council decided to implement two types of World Standings / Ranking, namely "ISU World Standings" and "ISU Season's World Ranking", since the 2010–11 season. The ISU World Standings for single & pair skating and ice dance, are taking into account results of the preceding two seasons and the current season, and remains the basis for the draws at ISU events and part of the criteria for the selection of competitors for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and other ISU events designated by the ISU Council. The ISU Season's World Ranking, is based on the results of the current ongoing season only. It has the main purpose to reflect the current competitive performances of the skaters and give the public and the media an indication of the current actual competitiveness of the skaters. The ISU World Standings for synchronized skating, are taking into account results of the preceding two seasons and the current season. The standings will also guarantee objectivity and a help for the process of individual entries to ISU events. There will be a separate ranking for "Senior" and "Junior". The ISU World Standings and Season's World Ranking do not necessarily reflect the capabilities of some skaters/teams. Due to limits on entries to events (no more than three from each country), and varying numbers of high-level skaters/teams in each country, skaters/teams from some countries may find it more difficult to qualify to compete at major events. Thus, a skater/team with a lower season's best but from a country with few high-level skaters/teams may qualify to a major event while a skater/team with a much higher season's best but from a country with more than three high-level skaters/teams may not be sent. As a result, it is possible for a skater/team who regularly scores higher to end up with a much lower world standing.


Principles

Since the introduction of the world standings system, the method used to calculate the standing points of a skater has changed several times.


Points distribution (since the 2010–11 season)


For single & pair skating and ice dance

According to the "ISU Communication 1629" published by the ISU on July 21, 2010, the ''world standing'' of a skater is calculated based on the results over the current and preceding two seasons. Competitors receive points based on their final placement at an event and the event's weight. The following events receive points: * ISU Championships ( Worlds, Europeans,
Four Continents Europeans in the 16th century divided the world into four continents: Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. Each of the four continents was seen to represent its quadrant of the world—Africa in the south, America in the west, Asia in the east, ...

: The two best results by points per season, the best four results by points over three seasons. * International senior calendar competitions: The two best results by points per season, the best four results by points over three seasons. Current and intermediate season's earned points will count 100%, and previous season's earned points will count 70%. Following the current season's World Championships, the results from the earliest season are deleted. A new partnership starts with zero points — there is no transfer of world standing points if pairs or ice dance couples split up and form a new partnership, and the previous partnership will be removed from the World Standings. When a skater officially announces his or her retirement from competition, the standing of the skater will be removed. The ''season's world ranking'' of a skater is calculated similarly to the overall world standing but is based on the results of the ongoing season only. The ISU World Standings and Season's World Ranking order will be updated after each event mentioned in the following table. Only eligible skaters will be considered in the ISU World Standings and Season's World Ranking. Distribution of Points (10% Steps) * WC = World Championships * OWG = Olympic Winter Games * EC = European Championships * FC = Four Continents Championships * WJC = World Junior Championships * GPF = Grand Prix Final * GP = Grand Prix * JGPF = Junior Grand Prix Final * JGP = Junior Grand Prix * CS = Challenger Series * IC = International Senior Competitions


For synchronized skating

According to the "ISU Communication 1630" published by the ISU on July 21, 2010, the ''world standing'' of a team is calculated based on the results over the current and preceding two seasons. The ISU World Standings order will be updated after each event mentioned in the following table. Only eligible teams will participate in the ISU World Standings. Distribution of Points (10% Steps) * WC = World Championships * WJC = World Junior Championships * WJCC = World Junior Challenge Cup * IC = International Senior Competitions * IJC = International Junior Competitions
