Ski Jumping Scoring
For the first competitive round, only the 50 best jumpers (the 15 best in the current WCJ standing and the 35 best of the qualification round) are admitted. The ranking for the 15 best in the WCJ standings is by name and can not be substituted. For the second competitive round (final), only the top 30 of the first competition round are qualified. They start with the same start number but in reverse order of the collective points score from the first competitive round. If for any reason (e.g weather conditions) the second series cannot take place, the best 30 jumpers of the first round will pass to the second round. The competition may be cosidered complete and valid only if at least one series has been completed with all 50 contestants. In addition to individual competition there's a team competition. The team consists of 4 jumpers who make two jumps each. In team competition the members of one team make their jumps consequtivly. The second round follows the same rules as the first one. Not long ago the judges considered only the three best scores of a single team but since 1998 all team members' scores have been taken into account. The first team competition event was held in Calgary, Canada in 1988. The World Cup rules were changed in the 2000/2001 season.
In the Four Hills Tournament, to reach the final round, jumpers make their jumps in pairs - 1 with 50, 2 with 49, 3 with 48, etc. Winners of these pairs and five "lucky"losers having best notes can jump in the second round. In the second round there are thirty jumpers that have made the best jumps in the first round. Jumpers that jump in final round get points counting towards the World Cup classification. Jumper's score in the Four Hills Tournament is the sum of notes from four competitions.
The distance of each jump is measured from the construction point ("K") and its note gives a jumper 60 points. The total note is the sum of all notes (for style and length). For every meter closer to or further from the construction point the jumper will get +1,8 points or -1,8 points on the big ramp (K120) and +2,0 or -2,0 on the small ramp There is also a note for the style. It is given by 5 judges (the highest and the lowest notes are discarded abd the remaining 3 are added to the jumper's score - from 0 to 20 points ).
K90 Ramps:
Judges notes :19.0 20.0 18.5 19.5 20.0
Distance : 98 m
Scoring : 60 points ( K=90) + 8 x 2,0 (=16 points) + 19.0 + 19.5 + 20.0 = 134.5 points
K120 Ramps:
Judges notes :18.0 17.5 18.0 18.5 17.5
Distance : 105 m
Scoring : 60 points (K=120) + (-15) x 2,0 (= -30 points) + 17.5 + 18.0 + 18.0 = 83.5 points
Ramps
Ski-jumping ramps are specially constructed hills from which jumpers will execute their jumps during sporting events. It consists of a long sloped run, a take-off point and a landing area. The hill design is the decisive factor in distances obtained by jumpers. The size of ramps oscilates from a few to several dozens of meters. They are all-year-round objects designed for summer and winter training. During the summer, the surface of a ramo is covered with a synthetic material which has appopriate properties. The greatest problem for jumpers is the wind, especially on the big and momoth hills. For this reason, specially designed shield have recently been used to protect jumpers from it.
