http://www.ifsmagazine.com/articles/551-grand-prix-series-evolves 大致的意思是,从下个赛季开始,ISU会减少大奖赛的参赛人数/组合,并且会根据过往的 积分来派送邀请函,这也是为什麽会看到Evan,Rochette会在名单上。而在前一届世锦赛 拿到前六名的选手/组合,可以选择参加三站赛事,然後选其中最好的两次做为积分,但是 奖金可以不限次数,因此大家会看到像是德国队的SS这次就参加了三站比赛。同时，被 邀请的单人选手也从12人下降到10人，冰舞组合从１０组下降到８组。 这是因为ISU不想经历去年那样大牌选手纷纷推辞,最後名额落到知名度低/实力较差 的选手身上。(ISU的目标一直是"扩大观众群"，创造更大商业价值。) 新规定里，若要符合参加大奖赛的资格，除了去年世锦赛的排名，还要达到ISU的积分 要求，所以如果以往没有大奖赛或是世锦赛经验的选手想参赛，就要从B级赛事开始累 积积分，例如芬兰杯...等等。因此，这些以往不被重视的B级赛事将会变得更重要，又 为了照顾到亚洲和美洲的选手，有鉴於现在的B级赛事都在欧洲，所以下个赛季开始， 会在加拿大安大略以及中国广东东莞这两个地方加办两场B级赛事。 至於这些决定是否可以减少各冰协(冰邪? XD)的政治角力，就不得而知了....。 还有一个差异，就是ISU不保证前一届的世青赛前三名可以参加大奖赛，该说前年拿到 世青赛前三名的选手真的很幸运啊！ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2011-12 Grand Prix of Figure Skating events will play out differently next season. The International Skating Union’s (ISU) Grand Prix committee has made major changes to both the junior and senior events. “We want to raise the level of the senior Grand Prix,” said Peter Krick, chair of the ISU sports directorate. “We want to avoid the problems we experienced last season when invitations were extended to too many lower-level skaters.” Invitations to the Grand Prix events will be extended to seeded skaters later than in the past. This will also likely eliminate the issues that occurred last season, when athletes such as Yu-Na Kim, withdrew because their plans had changed. This season only 10 singles skaters will be invited rather than 12; there will be eight ice dance teams (down from 10) and eight pairs teams. The top six ranked skaters and teams from the 2011 World Championships will have the right to compete at three Grand Prix events, just as they could in the first years of the Series. Skaters will have to identify, in advance, which two of the three will be point earners, but are eligible to win prize money at every event. As with previous years, the top 12 from 2011 Worlds will receive two Grand Prix assignments. The top 24 from last season will be offered at least one. In order to be eligible for a Grand Prix assignment, skaters and teams will have to have earned a minimum number of points at any international competition that was on the ISU calendar last season. They also may earn these points at one of the international B-level competitions that are held in the weeks prior to the Grand Prix. It was originally planned that the minimum points required would be two-thirds of the top point earner’s score from the previous season. However, this may change. “Both Patrick Chan and Meryl Davis and Charlie White earned an incredibly high number of points in Moscow,” Krick explained. “If we used this premise, some fairly good skaters would be excluded. We are rethinking this.” (As an example, two-thirds of Chan’s 280.98 score at Worlds would be 187.32 points). The upside is that competitions such as Nebelhorn Trophy, Ondrej Nepela Memorial, Finlandia Trophy, Cup of Nice and the NRW Trophy will take on more importance now. “We are thinking of putting the winners of these competitions at the top of the substitute list,” Krick said. “The disadvantage for skaters training in North America or Asia has been that all B-level competitions are held in Europe. Those skaters always have to travel, making it a more expensive venture.” In mid-May, the ISU designated the Thornhill Summer Skate in Ontario, Canada and the Asian Figure Skating Trophy in Dongguan City, China as B-level competitions next season. The substitute lists will be changed, updated and published on the ISU homepage after each fall competition. Substitute skaters will be selected according to either their personal best from the prior season or from a fall competition. Federations will no longer be able to play politics by inviting skaters from nations they favor, nor from those where travel expenses are lower because the skater(s) train in close proximity to the event. Skaters who previously ranked in the top six but sat out a season are eligible to be put on the list. This would be important for people like Joannie Rochette or Evan Lysacek if they decide to return to competition. The bad news is that the top three junior skaters and teams from the 2011 season are no longer guaranteed a senior Grand Prix assignment. For financial reasons, only six skaters and couples in each discipline will qualify for the Junior Grand Prix Final next season.
