Competition Notes
The event was open to figure skaters from ISU member nations who on July 1, 2005 had reached the age of 13 but had not yet turned 19 (or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers).
The term "Junior" refers to the age level rather than the skill level. Therefore, some of the skaters competing had competed nationally and internationally at the senior level, but were still age-eligible for Junior Worlds.
The compulsory dance was the Austrian Waltz. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies and men's qualifying groups were split into groups A and B. Scores did not carry over from qualifying.

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or notes:
“Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
“There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
