Ski Jumping
A Brief Overview:

A jumper's final score has two components: distance and style. A jump to the K-point (the end of the steepest part of the landing slope) will receive a score of 60 points. Jumps which are short of the K-point will earn fewer points while jumps beyond it will earn more. Jumping beyond the K-point is more difficult for a jumper because of the greater pressure of landing on a shallower part of the slope.

A maximum of 20 points are assigned for style. A jumper starts with 20 points from each judge and deductions are made for every fault detected. the highest and lowest judges' scores are thrown out and the rest added together for a maximum of 60 points. A maximum of seven points can be deducted during flight for ineffective takeoff, five points can be deducted for failing to execute a telemark landing, insufficient or over bending of knees upon landing, skis too wide apart, or any appearance of unsteadiness.

During a competition, a jumper will execute three jumps. The first is a trial jump and is not scored; the next two jumps count and will contribute equally to the jumper's final score.
