To determine the starting order in the first round, three groups are formed. In the first group (national group of the organizer) the order is drawn or seeded by the national association, in the second group (jumpers without World-Cup points) the order is drawn and the third group (jumpers with World-Cup points) starts in the reversed order of the overall World-Cup ranking.

In team competitions, the starting order is determined after the Nations Cup standings. In the cross counrty part, the starting order represents the standing after the skijumping part.
