Overview
- The German Ski Association will pay €3,175 to each women's qualification winner in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberstdorf.
- On December 31, the women jump at 13:00, with the men's qualification at 16:00, after large crowds left before the women's event last year.
- The move follows Selina Freitag's disclosure that a prior qualifying win brought toiletries and towels instead of prize money, drawing sustained criticism.
- National coach Heinz Kuttin says he wants this to be the final Two-Nights-Tour and is urging the launch of a women's Four Hills Tournament.
- Katharina Schmid says this will be her last Two-Nights-Tour before retirement, with Nika Prevc and Nozomi Maruyama named as pre-event favorites.
