Scores should be obtained in International Competitions (with at least 2 skaters from 2 ISU members) in 2018/19 or 2019/20 season (21 days before start of event).

For Junior Worlds, scores must be attained in Junior competitions.

For Single and Pairs scores are identical to last season's minimums. In Ice Dance they were raised (31/45 for Worlds, 26/42 for Euros/4CCs and 22/35 for Junior Worlds last season).

The main losers of the Rhythm Dance's increase from 31 to 33 are Kerry/Dodds whose 2018/29's RD score is 31.48.
Popova/Byelikov need to raise their current 32. from last season too.
Bunina/Frolov have 34.10 from overscored Ice Mall Cup. Kublikova/Hilitski have 35.72 from the same event.
Manni/Roethlisberger have 33.82 from Egna Trophy.
It makes it also harder for Bulgarians and if a new Israeli team emerge.

Wonder what the GP requirements will be.

The GP announcement lists the minimum total score requirement for the 2019-20 GP:


Men 194.05
Ladies 142.50
Pair Skating 140.90
Ice Dance 133.59

For those who do not have the minimum, it can be earned at an early-season Challenge event.
