Can ORD-PVG-SYD-LAX-ORD qualify for a Circle22 fare? I'm a bit new at this.

It's 21,159 miles per gcm, so yes...

And I have to hit at least three continents, right? I couldn't, for example, do LAX-NRT-PVG and return and get circle pricing, right?

Right. You have to go via the North Pacific in one direction, and the South Pacific in the other. North America->Asia->Australia/New Zealand->North America. Or the other way around.

Right. Technically the requirement is not 3 continents, rather it is 1 North Pacific crossing and 1 South Pacific crossing. But at present Oneworld has no SP routes except from Australia or NZ. Unfortunately SIN is north of the equator, so little prospect of ever having any SP routes that do not involve Australia/NZ.
