| Grand Prix Points |
For each single-winner Grand Prix event, pairs with ineligible players (often adult helpers) are removed from the ranking and the remaining competitors receive Grand Prix points for their final ranking (see table below). Both players in a partnership receive the Grand Prix point award for their position. Tied pairs all receive the points for the higher position.

A simplified version of the scale above was applied for the 2022-23 season.
|
|
|
|
| Two-Winner events |
If any Youth Grand Prix events are played using a two-winner movement, the same number of pairs will receive Grand Prix points as for single-winner events, half from N/S and half from E/W. For each award, the pair from those eligible with the highest percentage score receives the award.
|
|
|
|
| Prizes |
Grand Prix prizes are awarded at the Junior Teach-In, which is the last event of the season.
- The Open Prize is awarded to the player with the most Grand Prix Points.
- The Under-14 Prize is awarded to the player in the Under-14 category with the most Grand Prix points.
If the Open prize is won by an Under-14 player, the Under-14 prize goes to the next Under-14 player.
Ties are broken by the following metrics:
- Most Grand Prix events played
- Aggregate percentage from 3 best results
