Section 6: Scoring
6.1 Distance Points
Every jump starts with a base of 60.0 points at the K-point. Points are added or deducted for distance beyond or short of the K-point:
- Normal Hill (K-90): 2.0 points per metre beyond K-point; 2.0 points deducted per metre short.
- Large Hill (K-120): 1.8 points per metre beyond K-point; 1.8 points deducted per metre short.
- Ski Flying Hill (K-185+): 1.2 points per metre beyond K-point; 1.2 points deducted per metre short.
Distance is measured to the nearest 0.5 m, so the minimum distance increment is worth 0.9–1.0 points depending on the hill.
6.2 Style Points
Five judges each award a score from 0.0 to 20.0 (in 0.5-point increments) based on:
- In-run position: Stability and aerodynamic form on approach.
- Takeoff: Power, timing, and body position at the lip.
- Flight: Ski symmetry, body angle, arm position, V-style consistency, and overall stability.
- Landing: Clean telemark with balance. Parallel landings, hand touches, or falls result in progressive deductions.
- Outrun: Controlled transition from landing to a stable stop.
The highest and lowest of the five scores are dropped. The remaining three scores are summed, giving a maximum of 60.0 style points per jump.
6.3 Compensation Points
Gate compensation and wind compensation values are added to or subtracted from the raw score. The final jump score = Distance Points + Style Points + Gate Compensation + Wind Compensation. An athlete's total competition score is the sum of their jump scores across all rounds (typically two).
6.4 Tiebreaking
If two athletes have identical total scores, the athlete with the higher single-round score is ranked higher. If still tied, the athlete with the higher distance points total breaks the tie. If all criteria remain equal, the tie stands and both athletes receive the same rank.
