In the 2015–16 season, the series was composed of the following events in autumn 2015:[1] Skaters who had reached the age of 13 before July 1, 2015 but had not turned 19 (singles and females of the other two disciplines) or 21 (male pair skaters and ice dancers) were eligible to compete on the junior circuit.
Unlike the senior Grand Prix, skaters for the JGP are not seeded by the ISU.
The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was determined by their skaters' placements in each discipline at the 2015 World Junior Championships.
Points are calculated for each discipline separately before being combined for a total score per nation.
A country does not have to use the same events for each discipline (e.g. a country can combine points from JGP events in Latvia, United States, Austria, and Poland for pairs while using Slovakia, Austria, Spain, and Croatia for ice dance).
