Reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic
On May 1, 2020, the International Skating Union established a working group, chaired by ISU Vice-President for Figure Skating Alexander Lakernik, to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Its responsibilities include determining the feasibility of holding events as scheduled, possibly behind closed doors, during the first half of the 2020–21 season and the financial impact of any potential cancellations.[1] The ISU announced that a host federation must make a decision regarding potential cancellation of their event at latest 12 weeks prior to the event.[2]

Qualification
At each event, skaters earned points toward qualification 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 | Points (Singles) | Points (Pairs/Dance) |
---|---|---|
1st | 15 | 15 |
2nd | 13 | 13 |
3rd | 11 | 11 |
4th | 9 | 9 |
5th | 7 | 7 |
6th | 5 | 5 |
7th | 4 | – |
8th | 3 | – |
9th | – | – |
10th | – | – |
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 Grand Prix Final.
