(my rough summary)
2019-2020 selection criteria for international competitions
Worlds (Men/Ladies; 3 spots, Paires/Ice dance; 1 spot)
(1) Singles (Men/Ladies)
1. Nationals winner
2. The 2nd skater will be selected from skaters who meet either of the criteria below.
a) Nationals 2nd & 3rd
b) GPF top 2 finishers among Japanese skaters
c) Top 3 among Japanese skaters on ISU's WS when Nats finished
3. The 3rd skater will be selected from skaters who meet either of the criteria below.
a) Skaters who meet 2.a)-c) but not selected
b) Top 3 among Japanese skaters on ISU's season's WR when Nats finished
c) Top 3 among Japanese skaters on ISU's SB when Nats finished
*Skaters are required to participate in Nats which is the final selection meeting for Worlds. (This requirement does not apply to substitutes.) That said, if the skater placed the 3rd or higher at Worlds in the past, and if the reason is unavoidable such as injuries, there will be a case that the skater can be selected in a comprehensive way by taking it into considerations that the skater's results prior to the injury, for example, are good enough to meet the criteria above. The perspectives of how the skater's condition at Worlds can be taken into the considerations.
(2) Pairs/Ice dance
Skaters will be selected from teams who meet either of the criteria below.
a) Nationals winner
b) Top 3 among Japanese teams on ISU's WS when Nats finished
c) Top 3 among Japanese skaters on ISU's season's WR when Nats finished
d) Top 3 among Japanese skaters on ISU's SB when Nats finished
