The 2016 Endurance Qualification System Championships are now published here. 

 

The exact dates of qualifications will be known  once the schedule is approved and published.

The qualification system will then be update. 

As stated in the FEI Endurance Rules for 2016, Annex 4, the FEI World Endurance Rankings (for Seniors and Young Riders) are defined for a period of time that spans from 1 January until 31 December of the calendar year. 

 

At the end of the calendar year, athletes that have incurred no Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations (EADCMRs) violation, Penalty Points or Yellow Warning Cards during the calendar year will be awarded additional bonus ranking points, as follows:

 

- No EADCMR violation: 250 points

- No Penalty Points: 200 points

- No Yellow Warning Card: 150 points

 

The aim of this new points system is to reward athletes that comply with the EADCMRs, that take horse welfare seriously (no penalty points) and demonstrate good sportsmanship (no Yellow Warning Cards) in competitions - athletes can earn up to 600 additional bonus ranking points for the year by complying.

 

We now inform all athletes that according to Annex 4, the top three athletes in the FEI World Endurance Rankings will be awarded with a CHF 10,000 prize pot*, split as follows:

 

- CHF 5,000 world number one 

- CHF 3,000 world number two 

- CHF 2,000 world number three

 

Plus the awards stated in Annex 4 of the FEI Endurance Rules 2016.

 

(* The PM and Awards will be awarded at the end of the calendar year, so in 2017)
