2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix

The 2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix was the 25th season of a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union. It is the junior-level complement to the 2022–23 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Skaters compete for medals in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance, as well as for qualifying points. The top six from each discipline will qualify for the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final, to be held together with the senior final.

Competitions

The locations of the JGP events change yearly. In the 2022–23 season, the series is composed of the following events in autumn 2022:

Entries

Skaters who reach the age of 13 before July 1, 2022, but have not turned 19 (singles and females of the other two disciplines) or 21 (male pair skaters and ice dancers) are eligible to compete on the junior circuit. Competitors are chosen by their countries according to their federation's selection procedures. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was to be determined by their skaters' placements at the 2022 World Junior Championships in each discipline.

Number of entries per discipline

Based on the results of the 2022 World Junior Championships, each ISU member nation was allowed to field the following number of entries per event.

Qualification

At each event, skaters earned points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the 7th event, the top six highest scoring skaters/couples 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.
