Junior Grand Prix Final qualifiers
The following skaters qualified for the 1999–2000 Junior Grand Prix Final, in order of qualification.There were eight qualifiers in singles and six in pairs and ice dance.
There was an unbreakable tie in 4th place standings in the pairs event, and so Chantal Poirier / Craig Buntin of Canada and Aliona Savchenko / Stanislav Morozov of Ukraine both qualified in 4th position. There were no 5th place qualifiers in pairs, because that spot was left empty as a result of the tie for fourth. The two teams had tied exactly, down to the 7th tiebreaker. In later years, a different final tiebreaker was added, one which would have allowed for this tie to be broken.
