The 2011–2012 ISU Junior Grand Prix was the 15th season of the series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union. It was the junior-level complement to the 2011–12 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating contested by senior-level skaters. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singes, pair skating, and ice dancing.[1]
Skaters earned points towards qualifying for the final at each of the seven Junior Grand Prix events. The top six skaters/teams in the series from each discipline met at the 2011–2012 Junior Grand Prix Final, which was held concurrently with the senior final.

The JGP Final was held in conjunction with the senior-level version.
Skaters who reached the age of 13 by July 1, 2011 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 were not seeded by the ISU. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was determined by their skaters' placements at the previous season's Junior World Championships in each respective discipline.
For the 2011–2012 season, in singles, the three best placed member nations at the 2011 Junior Worlds were allowed to enter two skaters in all seven events. Member nations which placed 4th through 6th were allowed to enter one skater in all seven events, those which placed 7th through 12th were allowed one skater in six of the seven events, and those with a skater who qualified for the free skate were allowed one skater in five of the events. Member nations which did not qualify for the free skate but placed 25th through 30th in the short program were allowed to enter one skater in four of the events, those which placed 31st and lower in the short program were allowed one skater in three of the events, and those countries which did not participate in the 2011 Junior Worlds were allowed one skater in two events. There were provisions for additional entries per member country if another country did not use all of its allotted entries.
In pairs, member nations which placed in the top five at the 2011 World Junior Championships were allowed to enter three entries in all four events which included pairs. Member nations which qualified for the free skate were allowed two entries in all four events, and all others were allowed one entry in all four events. There was no limit on host nation pair entries.
In ice dancing, the multiple spots allowance was the same as for singles, through one entry in five events.
The host country was allowed to enter up to three skaters/teams in singles and dance, with no limit for pair teams from the host nation.
The general spots allowance for the 2011–2012 Junior Grand Prix events was as follows:
All other member nations had one entry per discipline in two of the seven events in singles and ice dancing and one entry in all four events in pairs.
At each event, skaters/teams earned points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the 7th event, the top six highest scoring skaters/teams advanced to the Final. The points earned per placement was as follows:
Placement | Points (Singles/Dance) | Points (Pairs) |
---|---|---|
1st | 15 | 15 |
2nd | 13 | 13 |
3rd | 11 | 11 |
4th | 9 | 9 |
5th | 7 | 7 |
6th | 5 | 5 |
7th | 4 | 4 |
8th | 3 | 3 |
9th | 2 | – |
10th | 1 | – |
There were seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:
If there was still a tie, the tie was considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
