Scoring system
The tables given below provide an overview of the highest-ranking biathletes and nations of each IBU Junior Cup season. For each event, a first place gives 60 points, a 2nd place – 54 pts, a 3rd place – 48 pts, a 4th place – 43 pts, a fifth place – 40 pts, a 6th place – 38 pts, 7th – 36 pts, 8th – 34 points, 9th – 32 points, 10th – 31 points, then linearly decreasing by one point down to the 40th place. Equal placings (ties) give an equal number of points. The sum of all IBU Junior Cup points of the season, less the points from an IBU-predetermined number of events (e.g. 2), gives the biathlete's total IBU Junior Cup score.
