The object of the World Cup is to collect points during the season. The total score for an individual is the sum of all points scored in each competition. The 40 best runners in each individual event are awarded points, where the winner is awarded 100 points.[3] Any runner places below 40th is not awarded points. If a tie occurs, both runners are awarded the points as if they were placed in the highest of the tied positions. As of 2024, the current points distribution are as follows:

Runners who are not placed in any given round are awarded points for last place in the given round.

For individual races: the sum of the four best places runners, both men and women.

Relay: The individual table * 10.
