As of the season 2015/16, a new calculation for the standings per nation is introduced for the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating series.
These new standings are introduced not only to promote the talent of each nation as a team, but also to increase the competitiveness of the nations and encourage the individual skaters to earn maximum points for their team.
The top 10 individual results in Men and Ladies and the top 8 individual results in Pair Skating and Ice Dance, in a maximum of 4 out of 7 ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Events will go towards the overall standings. Per event a maximum of 2 skaters per nation and per discipline are included in the calculation. Every ISU Member who has a skater that meets these criteria will be ranked. The rankings will be calculated and tables published for each category along with the overall Standings of each nation.
The following point system based on the ranking has been established to determine the skaters that contribute points to their nation’s overall Standings:

These points will be added in order to calculate the ranking per category and overall Standings. If two or more Members end up with the same amount of points, the lower number of skaters will decide on the better pace. If there is still a tie, then the nations remain tied.
The tables of Standings per nation only include the top 10 nations and are published here
