The FEI Olympic Athletes Ranking Jumping, covering the period of 1 January 2015 to 6 March 2016 inclusive will be used to determine respective qualification. The list is restricted to the 15 (fifteen) best results per athlete/horse combination. In case of NOCs with equality of points at the conclusion of the Olympic Athletes Ranking period, the NOC of the athlete with the highest number of placings in the top category of Longines Rankings competitions (Point Group AA) will be given preference; if there is still equality of points the athlete with the highest number of placings in the second highest category of Longines Rankings competitions (Point Group A) will be given preference, and so on until the tie is broken. Generals For the purpose of qualifying for the Olympic Games, the number of competitions to count will be limited to 15 (fifteen). Conditions for qualifying for the Olympic Games are laid down in the Rules for Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games. The FEI Olympic Athletes Ranking list takes into account the points obtained in competitions counting for the Longines Rankings from 1 January 2015 to 6 March 2016 inclusive based on the number of starters who finish the competition according to the following point scale: Number of starters who have finished the competition Scale of points 30 or more 100% 25 29 95% 20 24 90% 15 19 80% 10 14 70% 5-9 60% 4 or less No points The FEI Olympic Athletes Ranking list is produced by the FEI Headquarters. The ranking list 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.). Athletes may request a maternity leave providing the pregnancy is certified in writing by a medical doctor. During the period which an athlete has officially ceased to compete due to pregnancy, she will retain 50% of the Longines Rankings points earned from the corresponding month of the preceding year until she recommences competing internationally. The maximum length of time an athlete may benefit from this leave of absence at one time is twelve months. The athlete concerned must inform the FEI Jumping Director when 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 1st 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 2nd to 12th 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 2nd to 12th 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 2nd to 12th 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. 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 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 Team competitions, Athletes obtain points related to their results. If they obtain four penalty points or less in at least one of the rounds, they earn points. Refer to Nations Cup. For Pan-American Games, European Championship (Seniors) and the Longines FEI World Cup Final, the first three placed Athletes 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 [n/a to Rotating Individual Final FEI World Championship]), Knock-out, Puissance, Six-bar, Relay, Top Score, Fault & Out, Hit & Hurry, Take Your Own Line and team competitions other than Nations Cup. There will be no limit on the number of competitions per event which count for the list for the Longines Rankings provided they meet the criteria of a group.
