## Calendar and format
The season opened in late November 2023 on an HS142 hill under [Viessmann](https://www.edgepedia.org/viessmann) title sponsorship, with the schedule running through the winter and including the classic Four Hills venues.[2](https://www.ski-japan.or.jp/wp-content/uploads/23-24WC_JPM.pdf) The tour blocks gave the calendar its shape: the Four Hills Tournament around [New Year](https://www.edgepedia.org/new-year); the new Polish Tour in Wisła and Zakopane, which debuted this season; Raw Air across Norwegian hills in March, culminating in the Vikersund final on 17 March 2024; and the ski flying legs, which ended with the Planica finale that decided the ski flying classification.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf)
## Rules and scoring: how the title is decided
The overall classification runs on a simple scale: 100 points for a win, 80 for second, 60 for third, down to 1 point for 30th.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf) No results are discarded: the rules state that the points of all individual competitions of the current season count for the overall winner, so a Four Hills or Raw Air event carries the same value as any other individual competition. Tours matter because they come in dense blocks, letting a consistent jumper bank several scoring results in a single week. Ties are broken by the higher number of individual victories.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf)
Team events score separately on a 400-350-300 scale down to 50 points for eighth, and the Nations Cup sums every point won by a nation's competitors across all men's World Cup competitions.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf) Qualification reduces the field to 50 jumpers, all of whom must take part, and a standard competition consists of official training, a qualification and/or trial round, and two scored rounds with a reverse-order final round.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf)
Raw Air 2024 carried a special regulation: after the Oslo weekend of 9–10 March 2024, only the best 50 athletes in the overall Raw Air ranking continued to [Trondheim](https://www.edgepedia.org/trondheim), and only the best 30 contested the final Vikersund competition on 17 March, staged as a three-round final of 30, 20, and 10 athletes with reverse-order starts.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf)
## Season highlights by tour
**Raw Air and ski flying.** Kraft won Raw Air with 2,495 points, ahead of Huber (2,327) and Kobayashi (2,193).[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP) The ski flying classification came down to the Planica finale, where Huber finished on 429 points to Kraft's 426, a three-point margin, with [Peter Prevc](https://www.edgepedia.org/peter-prevc) third on 382. Huber also won the Planica7 flying week with 1,374.6 points.[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP)
## By the numbers
Kraft's 2,149 points came with 13 individual wins and led to margins of 476 points over Kobayashi and 661 over Wellinger (1,488).[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP) Kraft also topped both sub-classifications he entered, the ski flying standing (426 points) and Raw Air (2,495), while Kobayashi scored 189 points in the ski flying standing.[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP)
Prize money tracked the standings: Kraft earned 373,150 CHF for the season, Kobayashi 338,600 CHF, and Wellinger 212,050 CHF.
## How it compares with the women's and ski flying seasons
Women's ski flying debuted at Vikersund, and Eirin Maria Kvandal won the women's Raw Air.[4](https://www.fis-ski.com/ski-jumping/news/2023-24/kvandal-wins-vikersund-and-raw-air-nika-prevc-the-overall-world-cup) The men's Ski Flying World Cup, contested within the same calendar, went to Huber, giving Austria both the overall title and the flying crown; Kraft's second place in both classifications underlines how the same small group of [Austrians](https://www.edgepedia.org/austrians) dominated both series.[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP)
## What changed after the season
Peter Prevc finished third in the ski flying standings.[1](https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&seasoncode=2024§orcode=JP) The Raw Air field cuts introduced for 2024 trimmed the continuation field to 50 after Oslo and to 30 for the Vikersund final.[3](https://assets.fis-ski.com/f/252177/20bdf5ff87/wcrglj-men-2024-e_marked_up.pdf)
