FIS team tour
The FIS Team Tour was a series of competitions in ski jumping that was held between 2009 and 2013 as part of the Ski Jumping World Cup . The tour consisted of two team and three individual competitions in Willingen , Klingenthal and Oberstdorf .
history
Walter Hofer , the ski jumping race director of the FIS , had the idea of organizing the team tour . Since there are more jumps suitable for the World Cup in Germany than free dates in the World Cup calendar, the tour should give the organizers planning security for the next few years. The FIS had set the team tour in the competition calendar until 2014. Here were Willingen and Klingenthal fixed venues, which belongs to the Tour ski flying , which in since the premiere in 2009 Oberstdorf was held, should at irregular intervals and at Kulm in Austria Tauplitz / Bad Mitterndorf take place. There were considerations to organize a Nordic Combined team tour at the same time .
After no tour took place because of the 2014 Olympic Games, it was not continued in the following years. A return of the tour in 2017 was announced on the official homepage, but was later withdrawn.
Regulations
The winner of the team tour was not an individual athlete, but a national team. This was determined by adding up the points that its members achieved in the jumps. In the team competitions, in which four jumpers competed for each team, the points of the entire team were included in the tour rating. In the individual competitions, only the points that were achieved by the two best jumpers of a nation were evaluated.
The tour was the most valuable ski jumping series of all time. A total of 500,000 Swiss francs in prize money was given out every year . The winning team received 100,000 euros from this , which it could freely distribute among its members. The winning team also received the FIS Team Tour trophy.
