|
10 September 2020 Board Resolution |
FEI Named Series 2021/22 – Allocation of Qualifiers |
The Board agreed that all Organisers who were originally allocated a Qualifier by the Board would automatically be allocated a Qualifier for the 2021/2022 season (subject to signature of the Host Agreement) without any application or bid process (unless the Organiser informs the FEI that they do not want to host a Qualifier for the 2021/2022 season):
In cases where the National Federations “rotate” the qualifier each year between different Organisers in their country, it would be left up to the relevant National Federation to inform the FEI which Organiser would hold the Qualifier in 2021/22. This Resolution would not apply to Organisers who were allocated Qualifiers to replace 2020/21 Qualifiers that were cancelled. If applications are received from new Organisers to host 2021/2022 Qualifiers (i.e. from Organisers who were not originally part of the 2020/21 season) such applications would be reviewed on a case by case basis, by the relevant Technical Committee, with regards to the quality of the Event and compatibility with the Series calendar, before being proposed to the Board for allocation. As the Qualifiers for the FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Youth 2021 have also already been allocated (at a previous Board Teleconference) but the 2021 Final has not, the FEI would open a “light” bidding process for applications to host the Final. |

21 July 2020 Emergency Board Resolution * |
Clarification to the Emergency Board Resolution of 7 April 2020 regarding Definite Entries |
The Board agreed OCs of CSI1*/CSI2*/CSIYH1*/CSIYH2*/CSIV/CSIP/CSIAm/U25/Y/ J/Ch Cat. A and B events will be permitted to increase the quota of athletes after the definite entry date ONLY if, having reached the maximum number of athletes entered, the maximum number of horses that may be entered (based on the number of horses each athlete may enter) has not been reached as of the definite entry date. No other interpretation or application of this principle will be accepted by the FEI. The total number of athletes entered may not exceed the number of athletes allowed to take part in the Grand Prix, unless the Schedule already includes a qualification system for the Grand Prix. Note this is an Emergency Board Resolution to GRs 116.3.2 and JRs Art. 251.9.2 which state with regard to definite entries that “These represent the final selection of Athletes and Horses that will travel to the Event.” No NFs signified disapproval by the deadline of 21 August 2020. The FEI Board Resolution is therefore final. |
|
21 July 2020 Board Resolution |
FEI Jumping European Championships for Children, Juniors, Young Riders and Ponies 2020 |
Following several communications from National Federations and prior to the Board videoconference of 21 July, the Jumping Committee was requested by the FEI Board to re-evaluate their position on the Board Resolution from 23-25 June (see below) regarding the cancellation of the FEI Jumping European Championships for Children, Juniors, Young Riders and Ponies 2020. The FEI Jumping Committee reconfirmed their position based on the criteria originally presented and as explained in the Board Resolution of 23-25 June 2020: “due to concerns that athletes and horses will not have had the opportunity to prepare fully for these important Championships and to avoid any risk to athletes and horses.” They also noted that to organise Championships over a short period of time (end August) with Athletes, their entourage, Officials, Organisers and Suppliers could easily reach over 1,000 attendees would also pose an unacceptable risk to all those attending and participating. In light of all of the above, and the premise that the Youth European Championships must take place during the school holidays as stipulated in the Rules, the Jumping Committee and the FEI Board maintained their initial position that the FEI Jumping European Championships for Youth would not proceed in 2020. |

The Board followed the unanimous recommendation of the FEI Jumping Committee to confirm the cancellation and not reschedule the FEI Jumping European Championships 2020 for Young Riders, Juniors & Children (originally allocated to Vilamoura) due to concerns that athletes and horses will not have had the opportunity to prepare fully for these important Championships and to avoid any risk to athletes and horses.
