JAPAN OPEN & CARNIVAL ON ICE
Japan Open is an invitational team competition where skaters are grouped into Team Japan, Team Europe, and Team North America. Each team is composed of two ladies and two men. Retired skaters can also be invited. Skaters perform only their free skates, and the team with the highest total score wins. The Japan Open gala is called Carnival on Ice and features skaters who did not participate in the competition, in addition to the ones who did.
