This competition exists out of four knock-out rounds. The seeding was determined beforehand, and the competition followed a "traditional" knock-out system. Each team chooses four skiers to go head-to-head with another competitor, with each winner winning a point for the team. The team with the most points wins the round. If both teams are tied after four races, the time of the best woman and the best man are essential; the faster total of these two times wins the round.
