ISU GRAND PRIX OF FIGURE SKATING This season marks the 30th year for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The series, launched in 1995, combines six prestigious, international figure skating competitions as a unified point-earning series that awards prize money to eligible figure skaters. SKATER SELECTIONS One of the biggest misconceptions is that each country assigns its own skaters to the six Grand Prix events. Here, we’ve outlined the selection process, used for the first time in 2003. Essentially, there are three different classifications of skaters for the Grand Prix Series. All skaters and ice dance couples may compete in a maxi- mum of two events. 1. Seeded Skaters/Couples: The top six finishers in each discipline from the most recent World Championships will be con- sidered to be seeded and be assigned, by draw, to skate in two events. 2. Invited Skaters/Couples: Skaters or couples who have placed 7–12 in singles or 7–10 in pairs and ice dance at the 2024 World Championships are guaranteed to be selected for two Grand Prix events, provided that these skaters/couples fulfill the requirements of the minimum score. 3. Minimum Score: Each entrant to the Grand Prix events must meet the mini- mum total score (SP/SD + FS/FD) to be included in the entry or the alternate list. For the 2024 Grand Prix season, the mini- mum scores are:

Pairs and Ice Dance 1st place: 15 points 2nd place: 13 points 3rd place: 11 points 4th place: 9 points 5th place: 7 points 6th place: 5 points PRIZE MONEY

In addition to receiving points to qualify for the ISU Grand Prix Final, the top five place-winners in the Grand Prix Series events are awarded prize money. Prize money for all disciplines at Grand Prix Series events is (prize is split between partners in pairs and dance): 1st: $18,000

2nd: $13,000 3rd: $9,000 4th: $3,000 5th: $2,000

1st place: 15 points 2nd place: 13 points 3rd place: 11 points 4th place: 9 points 5th place: 7 points 6th place: 5 points 7th place: 4 points 8th place: 3 points
