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:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.”
—F. Gonzalez-Crussi, Mexican professor of pathology, author. “On Embalming,” Notes of an Anatomist (1985)
