The LG Snowboard FIS World Cup is a worldwide contest series which features five different snowboard disciplines:
- big air
- halfpipe
- slopestyle
- snowboard cross
- - parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom
In each discipline, the best rider will be crowned at the end of the season winning the small Crystal Globe. However, there is one exception to the rule: besides the titles for halfpipe, snowboard cross and parallel, there is on World Cup title for the combination of big air and slopestyle.
In addition to the discipline titles, there is also one Overall World Cup titles for the best freestyle snowboarder (halfpipe, big air and slopestyle).
To find out, who will bring home the big Crystal Globe the system will work like this:
The points from all World Cup Freestyle contests (halfpipe, slopestyle and big air) will be
added together to determine the overall champion in the freestyle disciplines. A maximum of 6
events are taken into account regardless the event where the results are achieved.
In contrary to the Overall World Cups, the system to verify the winner of the discipline World Cups remains the same:
The rider who collects the highest sum of points in one discipline during the season - deducting throwaways if applicable - wins the World Cup.
Possible throwaways per competitions:
- 1 - 6 competitions: no throwaway
- 7 - 12 competitions: 1 throwaway
- 13 - 18 competitions: 2 throwaways
