The design point (also K-point , calculation point , table point or before the introduction of the jury width Critical point called) when referred to jumping point of the ski-jump at which the gradient of the landing hill becomes shallower. Its width is measured from the base of the take-off along the slope . Usually the K-point in the landing area of the jump is marked with red boards and red side stripes (from the K-point).
The construction point is used as the starting point for calculating the distance points in the jump scoring :
- For a jump on the K-point, 60 base distance points are awarded for ski jumps and 120 base distance points for flying hills
- For each meter further than the K-point, additional width points are added depending on the size of the hill ,
for each meter less than the K-point are subtracted accordingly (see table).
Before 2004 the jumps were divided according to the K-points into:
- small jumps (K20 – K45)
- medium jumps (K46 – K74)
- Normal hills (K75 – K99)
- Large hills (K100 – K130)
- Ski jumping hills (K145 – K195).
Since 2004, serves as a measure hillsize (see Schanze size ).
