Qualification

At each event, skaters earned points toward qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. Following the sixth event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advanced to the Final. The points earned per placement were as follows:

Placement Singles Pairs/Ice dance
1st 15 15
2nd 13 13
3rd 11 11
4th 9 9
5th 7 7
6th 5 5
7th 4 —
8th 3

There were originally seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Participated in two events.
  4. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events.
  5. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event.
  6. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events.
  7. Highest number of total participants at the events.

If a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable, and the tied skaters all advanced to the Grand Prix Final.

Records and achievements

Achievements

  • At the 2023 Skate America, Niina Petrõkina won Estonia's first ever Grand Prix medal (a bronze medal) at the senior level in any discipline .[34]
  • At the 2023 Skate Canada, Deanna Stellato-Dudek became the oldest skater (at age 40) to win a Grand Prix gold medal in any discipline.[35]
  • At the 2023 Skate Canada, Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko won Hungary's first ever Grand Prix medal in pairs (a silver medal) at either the senior or junior level.[36]
  • At the Grand Prix Final, Ilia Malinin successfully performed a quadruple Axel during his short program; this was the first time that any skater had ever performed this jump during a short program.[37] Malinin had successfully performed quadruple Axels in previous competitions, but only during the free skate segment. Additionally, during the free skate, Malinin successfully performed a quadruple loop, thus becoming the first skater to ever perform all six jumps as quadruples in competition, though not in the same competition.[38]
