[1] Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The competition served as the figure skating test event for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

The competition was open to skaters from non-European member nations of the International Skating Union who reached the age of 15 before July 1, 2016.

Each National Federation from the four represented regions were permitted to send up to three skaters/couples for each discipline.

National Federations could select their entries based on their own criteria, as long as the selected skater/couples attained a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international senior event prior to the Four Continents.
