Правила отбора на Чемпионат Мира для японской сборной

1. top three Japan skaters in GPF
2. top three in Japan National Championship
3. top three of World standing after Japan National Championship

and if they want to be assigned to worlds, they need to compete in Japan National Championship
which means, Japan skaters can't skip whole season then want to compete in worlds.
