The ISU Council decided to reduce the number of individual events of the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating from 8 to 7 effective the season 2009/10. The following allotments for the 2009/10 ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating events and Final were agreed:

We remind you that through the ISU Development Program the ISU provides a substantial financial support towards the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating. In this respect, please also note that the Council decided that the basic ISU contribution to the organizing ISU Members of individual events will be US$ 100’000 per event plus an additional contribution for events with a high number of entries of over 75 skaters by increments of US$ 1'000 per Skater up to a total of maximum 60 individual Skaters (ladies and men), 15 Pair Skating couples and 15 Ice Dance couples, i.e. an overall maximum of 120 Skaters. This means that events that would have such maximum number of 120 Skaters (which is possible only for events including the Pairs category) the total contribution would be US$ 145'000. In addition, the ISU will make available the prize money as well as other services such as results services and event coordination assistance.
