The International Federation has decided to increase by 1.5 to 1.8 points assigned to each meter jumped in races on the large trampoline, just like it does in the special jump.
To give a concrete example think all''Holmenkollenbakken (K120). Until last year, landing at 128 meters was equivalent to 72 points, while reaching 112 meters gave 48 points. With the new conversion the first measure would be 74.4 points, the second 45.6.
So if the first gap in the evidence base established purely by measurement (without regard to compensation and evaluation of judges) stood at 1''36 ", now he becomes of 1''55".
The FIS said that "the change & egrave; designed to establish a better balance between the segment and jump to the bottom, increasing the value of the services on the trampoline."
Obviously the change benefits the person has quality & agrave; jump, since & eacute; past the point K will come & agrave; rewarded with a 20% increase in the value of its meters, while not reach it means to be penalized with a 20% more & ugrave ;.
The system will come & agrave; tested during the Summer Grand Prix and in October it will decide & agrave; if you apply it in the next World Cup.
No changes to the competition instead of Normal Hill where every meter continuer & agrave; to be worth 1.5 points (and not two as in the special jump).
The proposal to raise the value of m from 1.5 to 1.8 points on Large Hill was already & agrave; It was aired last year and should have replaced the well-pi & ugrave; drastic idea of ​​increasing the conversion points / second from 4 to 5.
& Egrave; clear the will & agrave; FIS to groped to approach more and more & ugrave; Nordic combined jump, as evidenced by the decision to equate the system of determination of national quotas that of specialists.
In addition, the International Federation has explained that the new format of the individual competition on one hop and only 5 km skiing & egrave; intended as an alternative to team sprint relay events or on weekends with three events.
