Unlike the senior Grand Prix, skaters for the JGP were not seeded by the ISU. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was determined by their skaters' placements at the previous season's Junior World Championships in each respective discipline. For the 2011–2012 season, in singles, the three best placed member nations at the 2011 Junior Worlds were allowed to enter two skaters in all seven events. Member nations which placed 4th through 6th were allowed to enter one skater in all seven events, those which placed 7th through 12th were allowed one skater in six of the seven events, and those with a skater who qualified for the free skate were allowed one skater in five of the events. Member nations which did not qualify for the free skate but placed 25th through 30th in the short program were allowed to enter one skater in four of the events, those which placed 31st and lower in the short program were allowed one skater in three of the events, and those countries which did not participate in the 2011 Junior Worlds were allowed one skater in two events. There were provisions for additional entries per member country if another country did not use all of its allotted entries. In pairs, member nations which placed in the top five at the 2011 World Junior Championships were allowed to enter three entries in all four events which included pairs. Member nations which qualified for the free skate were allowed two entries in all four events, and all others were allowed one entry in all four events. There was no limit on host nation pair entries. In ice dance, the multiple spots allowance was the same as for singles, through one entry in five events. The host country was allowed to enter up to three skaters/teams in singles and dance, with no limit for pair teams from the host nation. The general spots allowance for the 2011–2012 Junior Grand Prix events was as follows: Entries Men Ladies Pairs Ice dance 3 per event 2 per event 1 per event 1 in six events 1 in five events 1 in four events 1 in three events All other member nations had one entry per discipline in two of the seven events in singles and ice dance and one entry in all four events in pairs.
