Japan Open is an annual show organized in the form of competition between three teams of single skaters representing Japan, North America and Europe. The contestants may be both competitive athletes and those who have already called time on their careers. Each team consists of two men and two ladies who skate their free programs judged according to the ISU judging system. The final team standings are defined by summing up the points scored by all the contestants. The tournament’s generous prize fund is distributed among the three teams.
