A skier's best results in all distance races and sprint races counts towards the overall World Cup totals.
All distance races, included individual stages in Tour de Ski and in World Cup Final, count towards the distance standings. All sprint races, including the sprint races during the Tour de Ski and the first race of the World Cup Final, count towards the sprint standings.
The Nations Cup ranking is calculated by adding each country's individual competitors' scores and scores from team events.
