Rules

Scoring system rules were changed in the last moment, just two days before official competition. Originally total 3 of 9 jumps, the best one of each three days was supposed to go into final score. But technical delegate of competition, Norwegian Torbjørn Yggeseth who is known as the founder of the World Cup, proposed the change of rules: total 6 of 9 jumps, the best two of each three days were incorporated. Although only 4 of 6 rounds counted at the end as first day of competition was canceled.

To perform on Saturday and Sunday competition, competitor had to reach 75% average of top 10 jumps in at least one round on official training on Thursday or at first day of competition on Friday.

On 16 March 1979 first day of competition with three rounds was on schedule. Everything was over only after 8 testjumpers on a disappointment of 15,000 people due to heavy rain. Test jumper Ivo Zupan set the distance of the day at 159 metres. [3]

On 17 March 1979 second day of competition with three rounds was on schedule in front of 40,000 people. Test jumper Ivo Zupan was first that day who set Yugoslavian record at 171 metres. [4] In the second round East German Axel Zitzmann crashed at world record distance at 179 metres, second round was canceled and repeated right after. [5] Zitzmann was leading after first 2 best of 3 jumps of second day of competition. [6]
