Format
Eighteen top players were selected to compete in these tournaments. Each player agrees and will contract to participate in four of these tournaments.
Each tournament is a 12-player, single round-robin tournament. This is a change to the 14 player tournaments last cycle. In each round players scored 1 point for a win, ½ point for a draw and 0 for a loss. Grand Prix points were then allocated according to each player's standing in the tournament: 170 Grand Prix points for first place, 140 for second place, 110 for third place, and then 90 down to 10 points by steps of 10. In case of a tie in points the Grand Prix points are shared evenly by the tied players. Only the three best tournament results of each player are counted. The player with the most Grand Prix points is the winner.

The three highest ranked players on the FIDE rating list chose not to enter the Grand Prix. Those are world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, 2008–2010 Grand Prix winner Levon Aronian and ex-world champion Vladimir Kramnik.

- Ranking points of the fourth result not already taken in the top three ranking results.
- Number of actual game result points scored in the best three tournaments.
- Game points of the fourth result not already taken in the top three results.
- Number of wins.
- Drawing of lots.
