LONGINES RANKINGS/JUMPING - CALCULATION FOR 2018 LISTS

Transcription

1 Generals LONGINES RANKINGS/JUMPING - CALCULATION FOR 2018 LISTS The list for the Longines Rankings takes into account the points obtained by Athletes over a twelve month period beginning on 1 January and ending on 31 December. The list for the Longines Rankings is produced by the FEI Headquarters. The list for the Longines Rankings is updated weekly but is released on the first week of each month only. The updated version during the month is not published or distributed, except for specific purposes (FEI World Cup invitations, selection for Top Ten Final etc). The list for the Longines Rankings begins on 1 January each year with the carryover of the total number of points which have been accumulated during the previous year until 31 December. At the end of each month, the points earned during that month are added to the list. The points from the same month the previous year are dropped from the list. Points obtained at Games and Championships are retained on the list depending on the frequency of the Events. If the Event is held every four years, 25% of the points obtained are dropped after one year, 50% after two years, 75% after three years and the remainder after four years. If the Event is held every two years, 50% of the points obtained are dropped after one year and the remainder after two years. Athletes may request a maternity leave or a medical leave providing the pregnancy/medical condition is certified in writing by a medical doctor; requests for maternity/medical leave must be addressed to the FEI Jumping Director. During the period which an Athlete has officially ceased to compete due to pregnancy or a medical condition, he/she will retain 50% of the Longines Rankings points earned from the corresponding month of the preceding year until he/she recommences competing internationally. The minimum length of time for which an Athlete may be granted a maternity/medical leave is six months; if the maternity/medical leave lasts less than six months, no points will be retained from the corresponding month of the preceding year. The maximum length of time an Athlete may benefit from a maternity/medical leave of absence at one time is twelve months. During the period in which an Athlete is on maternity/medical leave, he/she may not compete in international or national Competitions; the FEI will inform the Athlete s NF accordingly. The Athlete concerned must inform the FEI Jumping Director when he/she resumes international participation. In order for a Competition to count for the Longines Rankings, the prize money distribution charts published in the Draft Schedules must be respected. The value of the first prize, in cash and/or in kind, may not exceed one third (rounded for calculation purposes to 33%) of the total value of prize money and prizes in kind offered for the Competition. For Competitions in which the retail value of the prize in kind for the winner EXCEEDS 33% of the total value of prizes offered for the Competition, only 33% of the total value of the prizes offered for the Competition is taken into consideration for 1 st place for the purpose of determining whether the Competition counts for the Longines Rankings and into which point group it should be placed (AA/A/B/C/D). Therefore, the prize money provided for Athletes placed 2 nd to 12 th is considered to represent 67% of the total prizes offered for the Competition and must be distributed according to the percentages laid down in the prize money distribution Chart 2 (33% to the winner). In order to achieve this, the total value of the prizes offered for the Competition must be recalculated based on the premise that if the first prize represents 33%, the prizes provided for 2 nd to 12 th represent 67% of the total value of prizes offered for the Competition (100% = 33% + 67%). The calculation is to be made as follows: The amount of prize money offered for Athletes placed 2 nd to 12 th is multiplied by 100 and divided by 67. The amount obtained through this calculation is the recorded value (100%) of the Competition for Longines Rankings purposes. Example: A Competition is listed in the Schedule with a total value of prizes of CHF , of which a car with a retail value of CHF is offered to the winner and CHF cash is provided for Athletes placed 2 nd to 12 th. The recorded value (100%) of the Competition for Longines Rankings purposes is equal to the value of the prizes provided for 2 nd to 12 th places (50 000) multiplied by 100 and divided by 67: 100% = x = CHF /rounded to (instead of ). The recorded value of the car is considered to be 33% of this amount: 33% of = /rounded to (instead of ). As the recorded value of the Competition exceeds CHF it may count for the Longines Rankings and it falls into point Group C: CHF The CHF prize money is distributed among the Athletes placed 2 nd to 12 th 1

2 according to the percentages listed in prize money distribution Chart 2, using the recorded value of the Competition (CHF ) as the basis for calculating the percentages. NB: The above applies to cases in which the retail value of the prize in kind for the winner greatly exceeds 33% of the total value of prizes offered for the Competition; a certain degree of flexibility will be applied if the value of this prize in kind represents approximately 33%. Should the retail value of the prize in kind for the winner be less than 33%, additional prize money must be provided to meet the required percentage. Point System Competitions are divided into groups depending on their level. Refer to definition of point groups. For Individual Competitions, Athletes obtain points related to their placing in the Competitions. The scale of points differs from one group to another. Refer to scales of points. For Nations Cup Competitions, Athletes obtain points related to their results. If they obtain four penalties or less in at least one of the rounds, they earn points. This also applies to Team Competitions at Championships and Games. Refer to scales of points for Nations Cup. For Olympic Games, FEI World Championship, Pan-American Games, European Championship (Seniors), FEI World Cup Final and Asian Games, the first three placed Athletes in the overall individual classification obtain bonus points in addition to the points obtained during the Competitions. Refer to bonus. The 16 best placed Athletes (plus the Athletes tying for the last place to count) will obtain points in all individual Competitions counting for the ranking. Points won by Athletes who are tied are added up and divided equally among them. Two decimals are kept. The second decimal place will be rounded up from.005 and rounded down from.004. Athletes placed more than once in the first 16 obtain points for their best placing only. Competitions excluded: Special Competitions, meaning show Competitions or Competitions for which participation is based on personal invitations or for which not all Athletes at the Event have the chance to qualify (such as Top Ten, Masters, rotating Horses), Knock-out, Puissance, Six-bar, Relay, Top Score, Fault & Out, Hit & Hurry, Take Your Own Line and any Competition in which the number of Horses that may be entered per Athlete is not the same for all Athletes. Team Competitions other than Nations Cup are also excluded, unless the Competition is open to all Athletes at the Event, an individual classification is established for the Competition and the prize money distribution is based on the individual classification; in such cases points are distributed according to the individual classification. There will be no limit on the number of Competitions per Event which count for the Longines Rankings provided they meet the criteria of a group. However, no Event may hold more than one Competition in point group AA. If an Organising Committee wishes to hold more than one Longines Ranking Competition with prize money of CHF or more, only one of these Competitions may count for point group AA; the others must be placed in point group A, providing they meet the minimum height requirements of point group A. In such cases the OC must designate in the Schedule which competition is to count for point group AA. Number of results to count for the list for the Longines Rankings The number of results to count per Athlete per year for the list for the Longines Rankings is limited to the best 30. For the purpose of qualifying for the Olympic Games, the number of Competitions to count will be limited to 30. Conditions for qualifying for the Olympic Games are laid down in the Rules for Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games. Horse/Athlete Combination Ranking List In accordance with the above rules a ranking list for the Horse/Athlete Combination is established each year. If one of the two elements forming the combination changes during the year, the points start again from scratch. This list begins for each combination with zero point on 1 January and finishes on 31 December (only the points of the current year are taken into account; there is no carryover of previous championships or Games points). Definition of Point Groups Individual Competitions: The minimum height of all Competitions counting for points is 1.45 m. (NB: exception for the first and last Competitions of Regional or Continental Games or Championships as mentioned under point group E*) Individual Competitions counting for points must meet the minimum height requirements for the 2

3 respective point groups. If the minimum height requirement for any given point group is not met, the Competition will be retrograded to the next point group providing it meets the height requirement for that group (e.g. if the prize money meets the requirements for point group A but the height of the Competition is 1.50 m., the Competition will be placed in point group B). Group Minimum Height AA 1.60 m A 1.55 m B 1.50 m C 1.50 m for CSI3* and higher level; 1.45 m for CSI2* D 1.45 m E As per rules F As per rules =2xA Competitions Competitions with a total prize money of CHF and more (maximum one per Event) Final Competition at Pan-Am Games, European Championship, FEI World Cup Final All Competitions with a total prize-money of CHF to CHF Speed Competition at Pan-Am Games, FEI World Championship, European Championship Speed Competition and 2nd Competition at FEI World Cup Final First Competition at Olympic Games All Competitions with a total prize-money from CHF 112,500 to CHF All Competitions with a total prize-money from CHF to CHF 112,499 All Competitions with a total prize-money from CHF to CHF All FEI World Cup Competitions not included above All CSI2* Grand Prix Competitions at Events outside Western Europe with at least CHF in prize money *The first and last Competitions at Regional or Continental Games or Championships not mentioned above, providing the height of first round is 1.40 m Final Competition at Olympic Games Final at FEI World Championship Note: All categories are based on Swiss Francs (CHF); Refer to Annex I for the above amounts in other currencies.
