2023-24 Japanese National Qualifying Competitions & Other Domestic Events

Summary of 2023-24 Japanese domestic competitions. Links to information and results will be updated throughout the season. Events are also available on our calendar.

Reference: 2023-24 JSF National Competitions, 2023-24 Advancement Quota
See also: 2023-24 Nationals tag

Last updated: Feb. 4, 2024

QUALIFYING STRUCTURE

Skaters qualify for the Japanese National Championships by competing at one of six regional (or “block”) championships and one of two sectional championships (Eastern and Western). Top finishers at regionals advance to sectionals, and top finishers at sectionals advance to nationals. The number of qualifying skaters in each discipline and competition is determined annually by the JSF.

Japan holds three separate national championships for three different levels: novice, junior, and senior. There are two categories of novice, Novice A (older) and Novice B (younger). To qualify for Novice Nationals, skaters are recommended by JSF or compete in the novice category at regional championships. Novice skaters perform only free skates and do not compete at sectionals. To qualify for Junior Nationals, skaters compete in the junior category at regionals and sectionals, and to qualify for Senior Nationals, skaters compete in the senior category at regionals and sectionals. Due to small field sizes, pair and ice dance teams usually do not compete at regionals, only sectionals.

Four (4) top finishers in singles at Novice Nationals are invited to participate in Junior Nationals, and eight (8) top finishers in singles at Junior Nationals are invited to compete at Senior Nationals. The maximum number of singles skaters who can qualify for the junior or senior National Championships is 30 women and 30 men.

Seeded skaters are chosen by the JSF to advance directly to Nationals without competing at qualifying competitions. Generally, medalists at the previous National Championships are seeded. Seeded skaters can still compete at regionals/sectionals if they want to, but they will not count towards the quota of skaters who advance. Seeded skaters for the 2023-24 season are:

• Junior women: Mao Shimada, Ami Nakai

• Senior women: Kaori Sakamoto, Mai Mihara, Mao Shimada

• Senior men: Shoma Uno, Koshiro Shimada, Kazuki Tomono

• Senior pairs: Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara

Skaters who would normally need to compete at regionals/sectionals may be exempt from doing so if they have an international competition during or close to their qualifying event.
