The FEI Board approved a Classification Working Group recommendation that, until further notice, where the Rules only allow a “Review” status to be allocated (see Articles 10.5.3, 15.6 and 15.15 of the FEI Para Equestrian Classification Rules), that a “Review with Fixed Review Date” status can also be allocated, or “Confirmed” only in cases where it is absolutely clear. The allocation of a status in any case must always be confirmed by the FEI Classification Working Group. This would also be in place if only one Classifier is physically present (with or without another joining by video call). |
