From ISU Communication # 1629
During its recent meeting, the ISU Council decided to implement two types of World Standings/Ranking, namely
•the “ISU World Standings” which is taking into account results of the preceding two seasons and the current season and remains the basis for the draws at ISU Events and part of the criteria for the selection of competitors for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and other ISU Events designated by the Council.
and
•the “ISU Season’s World Ranking” which is based on the results of the current ongoing season only. It has the main purpose to reflect the current competitive performances of the skaters and give the public and the media an indication of the current actual competitiveness of the skaters.

Compared to Communication No. 1460, specific changes have been applied in item C.1.6. for clarification and item C.4 (Distribution of points for ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final) which now reflect better the weight between all events valid for ISU World Standings /ISU Season’s World Ranking points.

The impacts of not participating in a GP, not making it to the GPF, etc. can be seen in some of these.
