The event takes place on hills much larger than ski jumping hills, with the K-point set between 185 metres (607 ft) and 200 m (660 ft).

Unlike ordinary ski jumping, the Ski Flying World Champion is determined after four jumps which take place over two days.

The person with most points combined after four jumps is declared the World Champion.

The exception to this rule were the seasons 1991/1992, 1993/1994, 1995/1996 and 1997/1998, in which the points scored during the Ski Flying World Championships in Harrachov (in 1992), in Planica (in 1994), in Tauplitz/Bad Mitterndorf (in 1996) and in Oberstdorf (in 1998).
