Lexington,
KY − The United States Equestrian Federation has approved
the following modifications to the Selection Procedures for
CSIO/CSI Competitions, aka “the USEF Computer List”.
These changes will become effective on January 15, 2008.
The
following additions or changes have been made to the selection
procedures:
- The
results of European CSI2*s will now be included.
- An
exception for FEI Table C and USEF Table III classes will
be made to the criteria, which currently states that horses/riders
finishing below 12th place and with more than four faults
would receive no points. The exception is that in FEI
Table C’s and USEF Table III’s, horses/riders
will be awarded points on placings only, not faults.
- In
the case of events for which a rider must qualify, language
has been added to the Selection Procedures to include competitions
which offer more than one qualifying class, in order to determine
the class’ Natural Multiplier, “the Natural Multiplier
for the Grand Prix will be calculated based on the value
of all of the horse/rider combinations competing in the Qualifying
Classes.”
- The
value of Super League Nations Cups will be determined first
by calculating the class’ Natural Multiplier, next
applying the Prize Money Co-Efficient, and lastly using a
Technical Co-Efficient of 1.4.
- The
value of other Nations Cups will be determined first by calculating
the class’ Natural Multiplier, next applying the Prize
Money Co-Efficient, and lastly using a Technical Co-Efficient
of 1.2.
- The
value of Selection Trials for the Olympic Games will be a
minimum of 6, unless it is greater using the following system: the
class’ Natural Multiplier will be determined first,
the Prize Money Co-Efficient will be applied next, and lastly
using a Technical Co-Efficient of 1.4.
- For
horse/rider combinations finishing the first round with a
score of 4 faults or less, the value of North American World
Cup Qualifiers will be a minimum of 3. Points for all other
horse/rider combinations in the Qualifier will be computed
using the Natural Multiplier, with adjustments for the appropriate
Prize Money and/or Technical Co-Efficient (Since this represents
a significant modification, the Computer List Task Force
will review it again in six months – no later than
July 1, 2008 - for consideration to either continue this
system or revert back to the previous one).
- The
value of World Cup Qualifiers outside North America will
be the class’ Natural Multiplier, with adjustments
for the appropriate Prize Money and/or Technical Co-Efficient.
