Long-time enthusiasts will already know how to use a double criterion in Germany. Athletes - in addition to being divided by working groups - receive a status (reported in parentheses) that indicates a further internal hierarchy within the group. By simplifying the system, it can be stated that: * Generally being included in the 1A working group and enjoying status A at the same time means having the place secured in the World Cup at the beginning of the next season. * Having status B and inserting into the 1A workgroup means enjoying more consideration than who has status B and inserted in group 1B. * Finally, junior, except for exceptional cases, is assigned status C to indicate their age range. Movement, reduced from a season simply science fiction, really changes its structure. This is the composition of the Nordic Combined Nordic teams for 2017 - '' 18: WORKING GROUP 1A (A) FRENZEL Eric (1988) (A) KIRCHEISEN BjÃ¶rn (1983) (A) RIEÃŸLE Fabian (1990) (A) RYDZEK Johannes (1991) (B) FAIÃŸT Manuel (1993) (B) GEIGER Vinzenz 1997) (B) LANGE Jakob (1995) (B) WEBER Terence (1996) Group 1A is reduced from 10 to 8 elements. Confirmed by all the combinatorialists who made him the past year except for Tobias Haug, back in Group 1B, and Tino Edelmann, retired. BjÃ¶rn Kircheisen's status is also elevated, which will again qualify for A. It should be noted that Vinzenz Geiger - as medalist to the junior worlds - has the nominal place in the World Cup until the end of January. WORKING GROUP 1B (B) HAHN Martin (1997) (B) HAUG Tobias (1993) (B) LUBITZ Tom (1995) (B) SCHLÃœTTER Anton (1997) (B) SIMON Tobias (1992) (B) WELDE David 1994) Group 1B remains at 6 components, but is renewed by half. In fact, there is room for this downgraded Haug, as well as Martin Hahn and Anton SchlÃ¼tter. On the contrary, Philipp Blaurock, Michael DÃ¼nkel and Paul Hanf are cut off. Theoretically, Hahn - in turn, medal in the junior worlds - can enjoy the nominal place in the World Cup by the end of January. You will see if in your case you decide to deploy it consistently. HEADER LEADER: WEINBUCH HERMANN GROUP 1A TEACHERS: ACKERMANN Ronny, BRACHT Kai GROUP 1B TEACHERS: EDELMANN Klaus, REICHENBERGER Nico, SCHMID Roland You only notice a small change in the technical staff. Roland Schmid is added to the team of coaches 1B.
