[edit] Points

Each season consist of 25-30 competitions, usually two competitions on the same hill during a weekend. One competition consists of a qualifying round, a round with 50 jumpers, and a final round with the 30 best jumpers. The 10 overall bests in the World Cup are automatic qualified for the first round, while the rest of the jumpers have to fight for one of the 40 remaining spots. All the 30 men in the final round are awarded World Cup-points. The winner gets 100 points while number 30 receives 1 point.
