Medal standings
Qualification
At each event, skaters earned points toward qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. Following the sixth event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advanced to the Final. The points earned per placement were as follows:
| Placement | Singles | Pairs/Ice dance |
|---|
| 1st | 15 | 15 |
|---|
| 2nd | 13 | 13 |
|---|
| 3rd | 11 | 11 |
|---|
| 4th | 9 | 9 |
|---|
| 5th | 7 | 7 |
|---|
| 6th | 5 | 5 |
|---|
| 7th | 4 | rowspan="2" |
|---|
| 8th | 3 | |
|---|
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.

- At the 2023 Skate Canada International, Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko won Hungary's first ever Grand Prix medal in pairs (a silver medal) at either the senior or junior level.[38]
- At the Grand Prix Final, Ilia Malinin successfully performed a quadruple Axel during his short program; this was the first time that any skater had ever performed this jump during a short program.[39] Malinin had successfully performed quadruple Axels in previous competitions, but only during the free skate segment. Additionally, during the free skate, Malinin successfully performed a quadruple loop, thus becoming the first skater to ever perform all six jumps as quadruples in competition, though not in the same competition.[40]
