order of nations for the First Inspection. This will also determine the team

running order for competitors in the Dressage and Cross Country Tests.

The starters will be declared in accordance with the program and the rules.

This will take place after the competitors have inspected the Cross Country

course and after the First Horse Inspection. The Chef d’Equipe shall decla-

re in writing the starters, the starting order and, for three-member teams,

which starting position will remain vacant.

b) Substitutions

After the declaration of starters, any changes relative to the composition

of the team or of a horse that a competitor will ride shall comply with the

following (Article 530.2 of the FEI Eventing Rules):

The substitution must be made at least one hour before the scheduled

issued by the Veterinary Commission must be obtained.

Any horse that is to be substituted for another already declared as partici-

pant must have been approved in the First Horse Inspection.

The Technical Delegate and the Ground Jury must approve the substitu-

tion.

c) Scores

i. Dressage

The points given by the Judges will be converted to negative points, which

will accumulate successively. They will be registered as the final score of

this stage and will be published according to regulations.

ii. Cross Country

The penalty points of competitors in the obstacles plus the penalties for

exceeding time will be recorded and added to the negative points in this

stage, and the points accumulated will be published according to regu-

lations.

iii. Salto

Each of the penalties in the obstacles will be added to the penalties for

exceeding time, and will be recorded and accumulated in order to obtain

the final result that will determine the placing. They will be published ac-

cording to regulations.

iv. Final Individual Classification

The individual winner will be the athlete who obtains the lowest total of

penalty points after adding the three competitions.

34


In case of tie, the classification is decided by determining the best Cross

Country result. If the tie remains, the score will be decided in favor of the

competitor whose Cross Country time is closest to the optimum time,

without exceeding it. If the tie still remains, the competitor with the best

score (obstacles and time) in Jumping will win. If there is still equality, the

classification will be decided in favor of the competitor with the best per-

centage score in the Dressage Test. If still tied, the final score remains and

a tie is declared.

v. Final Team Classification

The winning team will be the one with the lowest total of penalty points

obtained by the top three positioned competitors in the team. For purpo-

ses of the team classification only, any competitor who does not complete

the entire competition will be penalized with 1,000 points.

In the event of equality between any two or more teams, the classification

will be decided by the best three places combined, e.g., a team with riders

ranked individually 2nd, 8th and 12th, for a total of 22, will beat a team with

riders ranked 1st, 7th and 15th, for a total of 23. If the result is the same

number, a tie is declared.

Disqualification or elimination from any competition will be grounds for

elimination from the final individual classification.
