17Jun09 Tournament Council Expands Individual Entry Qualifications for World Championships
The IWSF Tournament Council has decided to expand the entry qualifications for the World Championships to a 2 year basis since the Championships are held every two years. The principle is that the Ranking and Elite List Qualifications may be used from the preceding year, but discounted by 25%. This is the same qualification formula used for the World Cup. The longer time span for entry can account for an injury layoff period that might unfairly affect a skiers rating in the specific 1 year period previously allowed. Here is the specific entry criteria table.
| IWSF Ranking May | 2009 | 2008 |
| Men Event (S,T,J) | 20 | 15 |
| Women Event (S,T,J) | 15 | 11 |
