The Four Hills Tournament (German: Vierschanzentournee) is composed of four Ski Jumping World Cup events and has taken place in Germany and Austria each year since 1952.
The Four Hills Tournament champion is the one who gets the most points over the four events. Unlike the World Cup ranking, however, the actual points scored during the competitions are the ones that are used to find the winner.
The four individual events themselves are part of the World Cup and award points toward the world cup in exactly the same manner as all other world cup events.
