The Tour de Ski 2019/20 awaits!
Dec 25, 2019·Cross-Country
The 14th edition of the FIS Cross-Country Tour de Ski performance by Le Gruyère AOP awaits from 28th December 2019 to 5th January 2020. The countdown is on and the stages of Lenzerheide (SUI), Toblach (ITA) and Val di Fiemme with the legendary Final Climb are getting ready for the FIS Cross-Country family.
What is new at the FIS Tour de Ski
Competition formats
Pursuit in Toblach on 1st January – start list will be based on the results of the previous stage in Toblach (and not as in the past on the current Overall Tour de Ski standing).
Final Climb as a mass start – Final Climb will be a mass start (and not pursuit as in the past). There will be 2 intermediate sprints for the FIS Tour de Ski Sprint Point Standing (1 in Lago di Tesero and 1 in the bottom section of Alpe Cermis) – for details see below.
Revised system of bonus seconds at stage events
Bonus seconds at stage events will be awarded only in mass start and sprint competitions. No bonus seconds in individual or pursuit competitions. This valid for all stage events (Ruka Triple, Tour de Ski, Ski Tour 2020).
World Cup points for the Overall Tour de Ski
All athletes who finish the FIS Tour de Ski will receive World Cup points:
1 = 400 points | 2 = 320 points | 3 = 240 points | 4 = 200 points | 5 = 180 points
6 = 160 points | 7 = 144 points | 8 = 128 points | 9 = 116 points | 10 = 104 points
11 = 96 points | 12 = 88 points | 13 = 80 points | 14 = 72 points | 15 = 64 points
16 = 60 points | 17 = 56 points | 18 = 52 points | 19 = 48 points | 20 = 44 points
21 = 40 points | 22 = 36 points | 23 = 32 points | 24 = 28 points | 25 = 24 points

31 to 40 = 10 points
41 to the last = 5 points
New FIS Tour de Ski Point Standing
The FIS TOUR DE SKI POINT STANDING will be calculated on the basis of the points scored at each race according to the table below. The winner will be the athlete (woman & man) who has collected the most points by the end of the Tour. Only the athletes who will finish the Tour will be ranked. The points are used only for the point standing and do not count in either Sprint World Cup or Overall World Cup.
If an athlete is ranked in the top 10 in an intermediate sprint and does not finish the competition, the positions and bonus points in the intermediate sprints remain the same for the other athletes. There is no reallocation of the points that were earned by the athlete who did not finish. This does not apply in the case of disqualification.
