For the team pursuit event, a member nation may enter one team only per category (men/women). Competition format Seeding of skaters If the number of entered skaters exceeds a certain limit, skaters compete in two separate divisions, A and B. In the first competition, the composition of skaters in the respective division is determined by the ranking of the skaters in the respective distance category from the 2012–13 World Cup and the seeding submitted by the respective team leaders before the draw. For each country and distance category, the number of skaters in the ranking top of the previous year will decide the number of places available in Division A, but the team leader's seeding will decide which skater goes into which division. In the following competitions, the current World Cup ranking is used, with special considerations to top-placed skaters in Division B of the previous competition. A skater may also under certain conditions apply for a wild card for Division A, but only the first time the skater participates in a distance category, and not in the first and last competitions of the season. In the last competition for the season, there will be no Division B. + Number of competitors in Division A World Cup 1–5 number of entries World Cup 6 Distance up to 20 21 to 24 25 to 28 29 or more 500 m1000 m1500 m all all all 20 20 5000 m men3000 m women all 12 16 16 16 10000 m men5000 m women 12 12 12 12 — Mass start all all 16 20 20 Points system Points tables World Cup points for all competitions, except the last, are awarded in both divisions, using two sets of tables, A1/B1 and A2/B2. Tables A1 and B1 are used when the number of competitors in Division A exceeds 16, while tables A2 and B2 are used when that number is between 12 and 16. However, if table B1 was used for Division B in the first race in an event that is raced twice in the same competition, it will be used also in the second race, regardless of the number of competitors in Division A. For the last competition, since there will be no Division B, points will be awarded using table A3. + Points system, tables A1/B1(more than 16 entries in A) Rank Division A Division B 1 100 25 2 80 19 3 70 15 4 60 11 5 50 8 6 45 6 7 40 4 8 36 2 9 32 1 10 28 — 11 24 12 21 13 18 14 16 15 14 16 12 17 10 18 8 19 6 20 5 21 4 22 3 23 2 24 1 + Points system, tables A2/B2(12–16 entries in A) Rank Division A Division B 1 100 32 2 80 27 3 70 23 4 60 19 5 50 15 6 45 11 7 40 9 8 35 7 9 30 6 10 25 5 11 21 4 12 18 3 13 16 2 14 14 1 15 12 — 16 10 + Points system, table A3 Rank Division A 1 150 2 120 3 105 4 90 5 75 6 45 7 40 8 36 9 32 10 28 11 24 12 21 13 18 14 16 15 14 16 12 17 10 18 8 19 6 20 5 Mass start ranking The mass start races will be over 20 laps for men and 15 laps for women. There will be 3 intermediate sprints, at 5, 10 and 15 laps for men, and at 4, 8 and 12 laps for women. Race points will be awarded to the four first skaters at the intermediate sprints, and to the six first skaters at the final sprint. The accumulated points a skater collects during a race will decide the final ranking. For skaters who are tied in race points, including those who have failed to collect any, their finishing order will be break the tie. + Points table for mass start Rank Intermediate sprints Final sprint (finish) 1 5 31 2 3 15 3 2 10 4 1 5 5 — 3 6 1 Grand World Cup In order to determine an overall World Cup winner, one for men and one for women, a special points system is used, awarding points for the top five skaters in each individual event. + Points table for Grand World Cup Rank World Cup 1–5 World Cup 6 1 10 15 2 8 12 3 7 10,5 4 6 9 5 5 7,5 Note: half points are awarded in distances that are skated twice in the same competition.
