The electrical flow classification of FEI Jumping Events is based exclusively on the bird of prize money, which does non encourage Organising Committees to invest inward infrastructure, media as well as sponsor improvement. The Jumping Committee believes strongly that a to a greater extent than comprehensive evaluation of events is needed inward guild to offering equal opportunities to all, to ensure quality, as well as to regulate the locomote of wildcards.
The assets of an ECS would endure the independent evaluation of events based on objective as well as measurable standards, taking into work concern human relationship the concerns of all stakeholders. It could enable the FEI to position strengths as well as weaknesses of events clearly as well as to encourage lawsuit development.
An additional create goodness of the ECS should endure to vantage excellence. Competition for licenses to create amount the slots available on the calendar would equalise worldwide standards as well as contribute to controlling lawsuit quality.
Events non coming together the minimum requirements for their star bird would have a lower score for the event’s evaluation which could termination inward the lawsuit dropping downward 1 or to a greater extent than star levels. However, the ECS would include a provision for arbitration to decide whether a particular number was beyond an Organiser’s command as well as whether it was deemed serious plenty to warrant relegation of the lawsuit to a lower star level.
In relation to the FEI calendar, the ECS would offering a costless market, supported past times clear as well as understandable information as well as would render NFs as well as Organisers alongside a meliorate mightiness to select their schedule. Competition betwixt events should endure allowed as well as dates should endure free, alongside the exception of the Olympic as well as Pan-American Games, the FEI World as well as Continental Championships, the FEI World Cup Final as well as perchance simply about events categorised every bit Majors.
The proposed introduction of an Event Classification System was followed past times lengthy as well as good for you lot combat inward which National Federationss, Organisers, representatives of the International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) as well as the International Jumping Owners Club took part. Strong back upwards for the projection was expressed as well as resulted inward a combat on details relating to the type of objective as well as subjective criteria chosen for the evaluation, information collection, the individuals involved, transparency, regional implications, as well as costs.
Emile Hendrix (NED NF) commented that it would endure positive to stimulate got to a greater extent than professional person evaluation of shows as well as pointed out that federations would endure interested to know how dramatic the changes linked to this novel organisation would endure as well as what terms implications this would have.
Peter Cooke (AUS NF) acknowledged that this was an fantabulous concept but urged the FEI Jumping Committee to e'er maintain inward heed regional specificities. The Chair of the Owners Club Christian Baillet insisted that transparency as well as communication were of import inward guild to avoid the negative effects on lawsuit partners as well as the media should an lawsuit endure ranked lower than anticipated. Ulf Helgstrand (DEN NF) insisted on the importance of the proper evaluation of the event’s infrastructure.
“I take in the Event Classification System every bit a cornerstone that volition convey upwards many solutions as well as I’m really passionate virtually it,” Madden said.
“It shouldn’t endure looked at inward a threatening way, it would non endure a tool to downgrade our shows, but a valuable solution to categorise our products. H5N1 lot of hard piece of work is directly needed but I take in it every bit an investment for many years. We demand to maintain our CSIOs good for you lot as well as strong as well as alive.
“We stimulate got excellence hither as well as nosotros stimulate got all the potential to maximise the appeal of the cracking sport nosotros have. We are unified past times 1 thing, the honey as well as the passion for the horse,” Madden said.
• Marco Fusté, manager of Jumping at the ESP NF, lawsuit organiser, as well as fellow member of the FEI Jumping Committee, presented an overview of the existing invitation systems for 3, 4 as well as 5* Jumping Events. Currently at that spot are 2 split systems – 1 for 5* events as well as 1 for 3 as well as 4*. The FEI Jumping Committee set frontwards 2 options for discussion: to maintain split systems; as well as to stimulate got a unmarried unified system.
Representatives from 12 NFs, Organisers, as well as the IJRC expressed dissimilar points of view. The biggest shout for of news was wildcards, their number, whether their ownership should sit down alongside the Organising Committee or the FEI, the criteria for the reason on which they are issued, as well as the involvement of NFs.
Wiveka Lundh (SWE NF), commented that Sweden was really lucky to stimulate got 1 of their riders, Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, every bit the world’s number 1 on the Rolex Rankings, as well as the province had 4 other riders inward the top 100. The sport inward Sweden could choke on developing only if invitations issued to Rolf-Göran Bengtsson as well as unused past times him were returned to the NF.
Terrance Millar of Canada agreed that invitations were hard to come upwards past times as well as he would endure inward favour of having a higher number of wildcards available through Organisers as well as the FEI. It would assist NFs from all parts of the reason as well as would allow Organisers to stimulate got global representation inward their starting field. Representatives of the Australian as well as Saudi NFs were fully inward agreement.
It was agreed that the invitation organisation should e'er endure fair, transparent, as well as flexible giving athletes equal chance to accomplish the side past times side level. NFs must stimulate got command of the entries of their athletes as well as exchange capabilities when named invitees are non available. The Organising Committee’s wildcards must e'er endure limited; issued nether clear as well as transparent rules, equal for all as well as stated inward the Event Schedule as well as closely monitored past times the FEI.
• IJRC commission fellow member Francois Mathy Jr did a presentation on the Rolex Rankings. It was to a greater extent than oftentimes than non agreed that the electrical flow organisation worked good every bit it was based on audio criteria, was slow to understand, as well as slow to calculate. The Rolex Rankings are updated monthly as well as render useful information for the media as well as full general public. It was, however, felt that the electrical flow organisation was every bit good static as well as did non render plenty flexibility for lower-ranked athletes to motility upwards the list. Another weakness was the fact that the electrical flow points organisation was based on prize coin lone as well as did non stimulate got into work concern human relationship the technical difficulty of the competition.
NFs, Organisers, as well as representatives of the IJRC expressed dissimilar points of persuasion on the agency forward, as well as peculiarly on integrating technical criteria as well as prize money, as well as on managing wildcards, piece keeping the organisation fair as well as transparent as well as encouraging proficient Equus caballus administration practices. Since the Rolex Rankings may be closely linked to the ECS, it was acknowledged that it was every bit good early on to beak over finer details. Delegates were reassured that earlier whatever changes to the electrical flow organisation are made, a number of simulations volition endure carried out to constitute their effectiveness. All changes to the rankings organisation volition endure made alongside the understanding of the IJRC.
The Jumping Committee thanked the participants for their broad feedback as well as valuable suggestions as well as acknowledged that it felt empowered to proceed alongside farther piece of work on the proposed ECS prior to the FEI General Assembly inward November.
The chairman of the FEI Jumping Committee John Madden concluded the proceedings of the 2d twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum past times thanking everyone for their valuable input, encouraging participants to mean value non only of the curt term issues but to maintain an opened upwards heed on the challenges identified. “This is the halt of the endure forum, but the debate, the discussion, volition choke on on online,” he said.
