FEI introduces new Driving World Ranking system

The FEI has introduced a new system for the Driving World Ranking. The list for the FEI Driving World Ranking 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 FEI Driving World Ranking 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.

Additional points based on Individual Rankings are awarded for the different Championships, FEI Driving World Cup™ qualifying events and CAIOs as follows:
World Equestrian Games: 15 points
World Championships: 10 points
World Cup Qualifiers: 5 points
CAIO4*: 5 points
