Unlike the senior Grand Prix, skaters for the JGP are not seeded by the ISU. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was determined by their skaters' placements in each discipline at the 2015 World Junior Championships.

Standings per nation
For the first season, the ISU added standings per nation. Points are calculated for each discipline separately before being combined for a total score per nation. For each discipline, each nation combines the points from up to four JGP events (excluding the final). A country does not have to use the same events for each discipline (e.g. a country can combine points from JGP events in Latvia, United States, Austria, and Poland for pairs while using Slovakia, Austria, Spain, and Croatia for ice dance). For each discipline at each event, each nation combines the points from up to two skaters/couples. The points each skater/couple earns is based on placement. Placement to point conversion is the same as for qualification, with first place earning 15 points, second earning 13 points, etc. In the event ties in the total scores, the country with the fewer skaters/couples (only counting skaters/couples from whom points were combined), wins the tie breaker. If the tie is not broken, the nations will have the same rank.[2]
The final standings were:[3]

JGP Final qualification standings
Qualification rules
At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the 7th event, the top six highest scoring skaters advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:
Placement | Points (Singles/Dance) | Points (Pairs) |
---|---|---|
1st | 15 | 15 |
2nd | 13 | 13 |
3rd | 11 | 11 |
4th | 9 | 9 |
5th | 7 | 7 |
6th | 5 | 5 |
7th | 4 | 4 |
8th | 3 | 3 |
9th | 2 | – |
10th | 1 | – |
There are 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 there is still a tie, it is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advance to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
