The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2011 is taking place in Quebec City, QC, Canada.

The 2011 International Skating Union (ISU) Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series continues Oct. 28-30 with skaters heading to Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, for Skate Canada, the second event on the circuit.

The top six scoring athletes in each discipline move onto the Grand Prix Final, Dec. 8-11, 2011, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, which will be combined with the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final for the fourth consecutive season.

The points toward the Grand Prix Final that are awarded for each place are 15 points for first; 13 points for second; 11 points for third; nine points for fourth; seven points for fifth; five points for sixth place; four points for seventh place; and three points for eighth.
