What are athlete qualifications in Nordic Combined?

Section 4: Players & Officials

Athletes must hold a valid FIS license and be registered by their national federation
Athletes must meet minimum FIS points requirements in both ski jumping and cross-country to qualify
Minimum age: at OWG, World Ski Championships, World Cup and Continental Cup, competitors must reach their 16th birthday within the calendar year; 18 applies only to World Cup ski-flying events (ICR 521.1.1)
The same athlete must compete in both phases: start right in the cross-country race requires having taken part in the jumping competition round (ICR 540.1)

Individual events: Each athlete competes alone in both phases
Team event: 4 athletes per team who must participate in and complete both disciplines: all 4 jump, then race a 4×5 km relay (ICR 543.1, 512.1)
Team jumping order and relay leg order are declared by the team coach before competition
After the draw, a competitor who cannot start because of force majeure (injury, illness) may be substituted if the Jury permits, certified by a medical doctor and communicated to the Jury until 2 hours before the start (ICR 522.4.2); a team substitute must take the same Team/Team-Sprint position (ICR 522.4.5)

Competition jury: FIS Technical Delegate, Chief of Competition, Assistant TD; oversees both phases
Jumping officials: 5 style judges, distance measurers, equipment controllers, wind/gate compensation committee
Cross-country officials: Timekeepers, technique controllers (not typically needed as free technique is used), course controllers, exchange zone judges (relay)
Equipment controllers: Inspect jumping suits, ski lengths, boot heights, and BMI compliance before the jumping phase; inspect cross-country skis for fluorocarbon before/after the skiing phase
Separate timing systems for jumping (distance/style) and cross-country (elapsed time); electronic transponders on athletes’ ankles
