Competition Notes
The competition was open to skaters from European ISU member nations who had reached the age of 15 before 1 July 2001. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters was the 2002 Four Continents. National associations selected their entries based on their own criteria. Based on the results of the 2001 European Championships, each country was allowed between one and three entries per discipline.
The first compulsory dance was the Ravensburger Waltz and the second was the Blues. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies' and men's qualifying groups were split into groups A and B.
