FIS Ski Jumping World Cup

The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup is a ski jumping tournament held yearly by the International Ski Federation since 1979–80 season.

Races are hosted primarily in Europe, with regular stops in Japan and rarely in North America, non of races have not yet been held in the Southern Hemisphere. World Cup competitions have been hosted in 17 different countries around the world: Austria, Bosnia, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. (Note that all World Cup races hosted at ski resorts in Bosnia and Slovakia were held when those countries were still part of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia respectively.)

Lower competitive circuits include: the second level Continental Cup, the third level FIS Cup, FIS Race and Alpen Cup.

World Cup scoring system

Each season consist of 25-30 competitions, usually two competitions on the same hill during a weekend. One competition consists of a qualifying round, first round and second round. The top 10 jumpers in FIS ranking qualify directly to the first round, while the rest of the jumpers fight for the remaining 40 spots. The top 30 men in the first round advance to the second round, which is held in reverse order, so the best jumper in the first round jumps last. The aggregate score in the first and second rounds determine the competition results. The top 30 are awarded World Cup points. The winner gets 100 points while number 30 receives 1 point.
