"Taking into account the suggestions of several NFs in regard to the removal of the coefficient for Dressage and implementation of a positive scoring, the Eventing Committee is suggesting two alternative proposals for a new scoring system, to help make the understanding of the sport more self-explanatory to a wider audience in line with the IOC Agenda 2020:
- Proposal A: Dressage percentage to represent directly (without coefficient) the positive score from where to eventually deduct current Cross Country and Jumping penalties. Athlete with the highest score wins.
For the purpose of the Team competition a combination non-completing the Cross Country Test will be awarded 80/100 penalties a combination not passing the horse inspection or non-completing the Jumping test will be awarded 40/50 penalties (to be discussed).
- Proposal B: Each tests is valued from a maximum of 100 points and added together.
Dressage score is given by dressage percentage (without coefficient), XC score is given by 100 deducted of any jumping or time faults; Jumping score is given by 100 deducted by any Jumping or time faults. Final score is given by adding together the scores of the three tests. Athlete with the highest score wins.
For the purpose of the Team competition any test non-completed will be awarded 0 points"

A concrete study on how this new scoring system would impact results, on last year championships for example, is required to be able to give an opinion.
