Skaters will be eligible to compete on the senior Grand Prix circuit if they reach the age of 16 before July 1, 2024. They will also be required to have earned a minimum total score at certain international events.
At each event, skaters earn points toward qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. Following the sixth event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:

Pairs/Ice dance

There were originally 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 a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable, and the tied skaters all advanced to the Grand Prix Final.
