Ski Jumping competitions
are judged on points awarded not only from distance but also for
style. The term "K" refers to the point on the outrun
where the hill begins to flatten out. The average takeoff speed on
the K89 is 84 Km/h. The jumpers follow the contour of the hill and
are seldom more than 3 Metres off the ground. The term
"89" means that the K point is 89 Metres from the takeoff
point. COP has 5 jumps; the K18 for beginners, the K38 for beginning
and development jumpers, the K63 for development jumpers, and the
K89 and K114 which are used for world class international
competitions.

Nordic
Combined competitions are won based on Ski Jumping distance and
style points combined with a Cross-Country skiing time. Competitors
start the cross-country race based on their jumping finishing
position. The first place jumper starts first and the following
skiers are staggered behind based on a points to time conversion
determined from their jumping points. The first skier to finish wins
the event.
