[B]How Are Grand Prix Skaters Selected?[/B]
by Laura Fawcett

(6/25/04) — With the selection of skaters complete for the 2004-05 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, U.S. Figure Skating presents an outline of how skaters were selected for the series. This information is provided as an outline only.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that each country assigns its own skaters to the six Grand Prix events. Beyond a host country's selections for its own event, this is not accurate under the guidelines for this selection process, which was first used last year. Host countries choose skaters for their events based on the draw procedure outlined in this article.

Essentially, there are five different classifications of skaters for the Grand Prix Series. The classifications are the basis for the draw procedure.


Host Country Skaters/Couples
The host country of each event (e.g. the U.S. for Skate America, China for Cup of China) may select a maximum of three skaters/couples in each discipline for their own event. These can be seeded or non-seeded skaters, but there is a maximum of two seeded skaters per discipline per event.

Seeded Skaters/Couples
The top six skaters/couples in each discipline from the most recent ISU World Championships are entitled to skate in two events and may skate in three. Seeded skaters are selected in two separate draws, one for skaters seeded 1-3 and the other for skaters seeded 4-6.

World Championships Placement
Skaters/couples that placed 7-12 in each discipline in the most recent World Championships are entitled to skate in two events.

ISU World Ranking System
Each host country must select two skaters/couples from the top 36 in the ISU World Ranking System. These selections are outside the ranked skaters already drawn as part of the classifications listed above.

Host Country Selections
Each host country conducting an ISU Grand Prix event may select up to two skaters/couples in each discipline of their own choice from any ISU eligible skaters, regardless of world ranking or World Championships placement.

The Draw Procedure

The first step involves each host country's own decision. The host countries confirm the selection of their own skaters/couples for their own event (a maximum of three per discipline). For instance, in ladies, the U.S. selected Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen (both seeded skaters), and Angela Nikodinov for Smart Ones Skate America.

The draw process is the next step. There are five different draws that are conducted. They are for:


Seeded skaters/couples placement 1-3 at the previous World Championships (each host country is guaranteed one in each discipline)

Seeded skaters/couples placement 4-6 at the previous World Championships (each host country is guaranteed one in each discipline)

ISU World Championships placement 7-12 at the previous World Championships (each host country must select two from this category in each discipline)

ISU World Ranking System placement 1-36 (each host country must select two from this category in each discipline)

Host country choice (each host country has the right to select two skaters/couples of their own choice from any ISU eligible skater/couple regardless of world ranking or World Championships placement. Furthermore, the host country is not required to pick someone in the top 36 of the world rankings if one of those athletes has yet to be assigned to an event)

Let's go through an example using the U.S. and its ladies selections for Smart Ones Skate America. After the host country selections were drawn (with the U.S. choosing Kwan and Cohen, both seeded skaters), a draw was conducted for the remaining seeded ladies skaters. All events are guaranteed at least one of the top three ladies skaters in their event, but no more than two. Therefore, the U.S. would not have been involved in the draw for the remaining slots for the seeded ladies skaters 1-3 (except for des
