How does the points system work?
In both Eventing and Dressage, athletes earn points based on their performance at qualifying events. Points contribute to leaderboard rankings and determine eligibility for the finals.
Qualification for the Jumping Final in the Rolex Finale Week at Wellington will be based on FEI rules around pre-qualified athletes and qualifiers earlier in the week.
