# 2012–13 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating

The 2012–13 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating was a series of senior international figure skating competitions in the 2012–13 season. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Skaters earned points based on their placement at each event and the top six in each discipline qualified to compete at the Grand Prix Final, held in Sochi, Russia.
Organized by the International Skating Union, the Grand Prix series ran from October 13 – December 9, 2012. Skaters competed for medals, prize money, and a chance to compete in the Grand Prix Final. The series set the stage for the 2013 European, Four Continents, and World Championships, as well as each country's national championships.
The corresponding series for junior-level skaters was the 2012–13 ISU Junior Grand Prix.

## Assignments

The International Skating Union released the initial list of Grand Prix assignments on May 21, 2012: Due to the 2012 China anti-Japanese demonstrations, the Japan Skating Federation said it might withdraw its competitors from the Cup of China if the organizers did not provide security guarantees. The event was held without incident.

## Prize money and Grand Prix Final qualification points

The top finishers will earn prize money, as well as points toward qualifying for the Grand Prix Final, according to the chart below.
| Placement | Points | Prize money: Pre-final event | Prize money: GP Final |
| 1st | 15 | US $18,000 | $25,000 |
| 2nd | 13 | US $13,000 | $18,000 |
| 3rd | 11 | US $9,000 | $12,000 |
| 4th | 9 | US $3,000 | $6,000 |
| 5th | 7 | US $2,000 | $4,000 |
| 6th | 5 | - | $3,000 |
| 7th | 4* | - | - |
| 8th | 3* | - | - |
| The sign * denotes not applicable to pairs and ice dancing. Pairs and ice dancers split the sum. GP total: US $180,000; GP Final total: US $272,000. ||||
After the final event, the 2012 NHK Trophy, the six skaters/teams with the most points advanced to the Grand Prix Final. If a skater or team competed at three events, their two best results counted toward the standings. There were seven tie-breakers:
* Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker was 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 dancing portion of both events.
* Highest individual score in the free skating/free dancing portion from one event.
* Highest combined scores in the short program/original dance of both events.
* Highest number of total participants at the events.
If there is still a tie, the tie is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters would all qualify for the Grand Prix Final.
