This Competition will consist of one round with the dimensions as laid down on a course plan provided by the FEI. Athletes/Horse combinations scoring eight (8) penalties or less in this round will be considered to be eligible. The FEI Foreign Delegate will advise the NF and the FEI on the granting of eligibility (Minimum Eligibility Requirements). If an Athlete/Horse combination has more than eight (8) penalties but shows a very good performance otherwise over the course, the Foreign Assessing Delegate may let the combination repeat a similar course. But in no case may an Athlete/Horse combination become eligible if they scored more than eight (8) penalties in the second round. The NFs of the eligible Athlete/Horse combinations will be informed by the FEI immediately." I like how it says: "If an NF finds it impossible...". I guess it really was impossible for the billion people of China. They were the first nation who used this rule (already back in June). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted December 29, 2019 Author #373 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I can confirm now that the Thai rider failed to score any new points in Al Ain. This means that Mathilda Karlsson has qualified. So exciting. In case you are wondering what's the connection between a name like Mathilda Karlsson and Sri Lanka - you can check it here. Now we just need to wait and see what happens with , and whether Karaevli can overtake Poland in the last moment. heywoodu and Benolympique 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Qatar and Ukraine want to meet MER through 5.1, should they do that before 31 Dec or next year would also be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nobody left in Group A, so it would go to the next best overall - Italy. Next in line are Slovakia and Estonia. Seems like these 14 points that Miloserdova has on Bugan could prove to be very unfortunate for Slovakia... mrv86 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For individuals, yes. But for teams the deadline to get the NOC Certificate of Capability is December 31st. NOC Certificate of Capability means having at least three riders with MER. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted December 29, 2019 Author #380 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile, no joy today for Karaevli. Now he can overtake Poland only if he wins tomorrow's Mechelen WC. Yeah, that's not going to happen... Edited December 29, 2019 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
