The ISU has just published that the entries for 2021 Worlds will be the same as the entries from 2020 Worlds.

It apparently means that the number of entries per country stays the same.
Another change: The JGP will take place as well as the Challenger Series. The Challenger Series will not be considered a series but will be counted as individual events. There will be no price money however skaters will still receive points for World standing.
My opinion: absolutely unfair. Many countries do not have a Challenger event and many skaters will not be able to travel to different countries for the Challenger due to travel restrictions. Skaters with Challengers in their countries will have a bigger advantage and will be able to earn more World standing points than others, this could affect GP assignments during the Olympic season! For example JSF just said that no Japanese skater will be going to a Challenger nor the JGP. This will affect those skates immensly as Japan has no Challenger.
