There were initially 24 contests from 19 different countries registered in the FAI Calendar for 2018. The 2018 Brazil F3U World Cup Drone Racing has been cancelled. In addition, the 2018 Royal Adelaide Show FPV (AUS) may not be taken in account for the World Cup results considering participants were only from Australia which means the rules requirement of competitors from at least two different countries is not fulfilled.
So, finally, 22 contests from 17 different countries have been considered for the final results and placing of the World Cup, compared to 16 contests from 12 countries for 2017 and 9 contests from 7 countries for 2016.

669 competitors from 41 countries (AUS, AUT, BEL, BLR, BRU, BUL, CHN, CZE, DEN, ESP, EST, FIN, FRA, GBR, GER, HKG, HUN, INA, ITA, JPN, KOR, LAT, LTU, LUX, MAR, MAS, MKD, NED, NOR, POL, POR, ROM, RUS, SIN, SRB, SUI, SVK, SWE, THA, TPE, UKR) have been placed in at least one World Cup contest, compared to 434 from 37 countries last year.
The total World Cup score for each participant is the sum of their best four contest results (numbers of points). For each participant, one contest result per organising country can count towards his or her World Cup placing (with higher points awarded if he or her scores in two contests in any one organising country).
The 2 first placed are junior and 6 juniors are in the 8 top places.

Note: Second and third placed have the same score. In situation of a tie for first, second or third place, placing is determined by taking in account for the concerned competitors their fifth result. This explains why Jan Wielgosz is placed in front David Spacek.
