Background

The BWC season lasts from November/December to March, with contests in a different venue every week excluding some holidays and a couple of weeks before the season's major championships (World Championships or Winter Olympics). All in all, the season comprises nine to ten contest weeks, with events taking place from Wednesday/Thursday through Sunday. Relay competitions are held four to six times per season. Also counting as World Cup events are World Championships and Winter Olympics events.

Athlete, winning in the overall total score (i.e. total score for all disciplines) of the World Cup season, is awarded the Big Crystal Globe trophy. For the first place by the total score in the separate discipline of the World Cup season the Small Crystal Globe is awarded. Hence, it is possible for athlete to win (and there are athletes who actually had won) not only the Big Crystal Globe, but also Small Crystal Globe(s) for the World Cup season.
