This event takes place in 2 stages: a first round and a jump-off. The rules are the same as for a classic event, and are easy to understand: four points are counted when a bar falls and when the horse makes a refusal in front of the obstacle. The second refusal and/or the fall of the rider or horse are eliminatory. Riders who finish the first round without a fault and within the allotted time will start again on a shortened course and by the stopwatch. The winner of this Longines FEI World Cup jumping leg will be the rider who completes the jump-off as quickly as possible without committing a fault!
