Important information for Eventers

Dear Eventers,

 The following information is of urgent importance particularly to those planning on entering Sydney and/or Melbourne in the upcoming weeks.

 In reference to the Minimum Eligibility Requirements (MER) rule change which took effect January 2017, MER are now being correctly calculated by EA’s database.

 May I remind you that following the 2017 rule change, the MER now requires not more than 67 (or 55%) penalties in Dressage; not more than 75 seconds (or 30 time faults) XC;  and there is no change to Show Jumping which remains at 16 penalties (note time faults are not included). For further information, refer Eventing National Sport Rules, reference Chapter 5 -  Article 517 Minimum Eligibility Requirement :

 The link to view results is located at:  http://www.equestrian.org.au/members/search/eventing-results .

 Please discard listings (75 penalties in Dressage, 90 secs time on XC and 16 penalties in Show Jumping) that you may have viewed between January and midday 27^th April 2017 as they are no longer valid.
