Section 6: Scoring
6.1 Jumping Score Calculation
- Distance points: Each meter beyond or short of the K-point = a fixed number of points (1.8 points/m on Normal Hill, 1.2 points/m on Large Hill). Landing at the K-point = 60 points.
- Style points: 5 judges each award 0–20 points based on flight form, body position, landing technique, and outrun. Highest and lowest scores are discarded; remaining 3 are summed (maximum 60 style points).
- Wind compensation: Points added for headwind (disadvantage), subtracted for tailwind (advantage). Calculated from real-time anemometer data on the hill.
- Gate compensation: Points added if the in-run gate is lowered (shorter in-run = less speed), subtracted if raised. Jury adjusts the gate for safety based on conditions.
- Total jumping score: Distance + Style + Wind/Gate compensation
6.2 Final Results
- Final ranking is determined by cross-country finish order, not by total points
- The first athlete to cross the finish line wins, regardless of their jumping score
- Jumping scores serve solely to determine the cross-country start time gaps via the Gundersen method
- In case of a tie at the finish line: photo-finish determines the winner (times recorded to 1/100th second)
6.3 World Cup Points
- World Cup points awarded for top 30 finishers: 100-80-60-50-45-40-36-32-29-26-24-22-20-18-16-15-14-13-12-11, then 10 through 1 for places 21–30
- Overall World Cup standings determine the season champion; separate standings for individual and team events
- Nations Cup standings determine team quotas for the following season’s World Cup
