Planica7 (2018)

Planica7 (2018) refers to the ski jumping competition held in Planica, Slovenia, in March 2018, as part of the FIS Ski Flying World Cup season. This particular event was the first time the organizers introduced a revised format dubbed "Planica7". The format encompassed seven rounds of ski jumping over four days, incorporating both individual and team competitions, with cumulative scoring to determine the overall Planica7 champion. Key elements of the Planica7 format were the qualification rounds for the individual competitions, the team competition, and the individual competition rounds, all contributing to the total score for the Planica7 standings. The event also included changes to the usual ski flying format, designed to increase excitement and make the competition more accessible to spectators. The victor of Planica7 was determined by the athlete with the highest cumulative score across all seven rounds.
