      the Foreign Technical Delegate and the Chefs d’Equipe, at a time fixed by
      the President of the Ground Jury in agreement with the Organizing Com-
      mittee, after the training session. The draw for the starting order for indivi-
      duals and teams will be conducted in accordance with the procedure set
      out in the Jumping Rules, Art. 252. The Chefs d’Equipe of teams with only
      three combinations may choose in which of the three places out of four

      individuals. The starting order of the Individuals qualified to compete as
      mentioned above under section 11.3.1.1 shall be set according to the re-
      verse order of the aggregate Penalties incurred in the First and the Second
22    Individual Qualifying Competitions. For Athletes with equality of Penalties,
      the score of the First Competition will decide their starting order.

      11.4.2. Teams - Round 2

      11.4.2.1. The starting order of Teams in Round 2 shall be set according to
      the reverse order of total Penalties incurred by the best three Athletes per
      team in the First Individual Qualifying Competition and by the best three

      Teams with equality of Penalties maintain the Round 1 starting order.

      11.4.2.2 Scores of Individual Athletes members of any Team eligible to
      participate in Round 2 as provided above will count for the qualifying of
      their team in the Team Competition, but also as their personal result in the
      Third Qualifying Competition if they are among the Athletes mentioned in
      paragraph 11.3.1.1 above.

      11.5. Team Placing

     Technical Manual
     Equestrian
Teams receive their placing by adding the Penalties incurred by the best
three Athletes in each team in the First Competition and the Penalties in-
curred by the three best Athletes in each of the two Rounds of the Second
Competition. The team with the least number of Penalties will be placed
first and earn the Gold Medal.

In the event of equality Penalties among the teams for first, second and/
or third places, a jump-off against the clock will be held, where all tied
Team Athletes may take part, over six obstacles, which may be increased in
height and/or spread at a speed of 375 m per minute. Equality of Penalties
in any other placing will be considered a tie.

The score in this jump-off is obtained by adding the Penalties incurred
by the three best Combinations in each team, but in the event of further
equality of Penalties, the times of these three Athletes in the jump-off ad-
ded together will decide the winning team, as well as those placed second
and third. The score of this jump-off will not count towards the final scores
of the individual Athletes.

                                                                                   23
If two jump-offs are required, the jump-off for the third place shall precede
the jump-off for the first and second place.

If after the jump-off there are still equality of Penalties and times for one of
the first three places, the teams concerned will be tied.

Teams not taking part in Round 2 of the Team Competition, provided they
are not eliminated nor retired in Round 1, receive their placing by adding
the Penalties incurred by the three best Athletes in each team in the First
Competition and the Penalties incurred by the three best Athletes in Round
1 of the Team Competition.

Team medals will be awarded: Gold for first place, Silver for second place
and Bronze for third place.

      Ribbons will be awarded for the first six combinations. Six combinations are

      13. OVERALL FINAL CLASSIFICATION
      The overall individual classification is determined for each Athlete by ad-

      of the second Competition (disregarding the Penalties incurred in the
      jump-off, if any) and Rounds A and B of the third Competition.

      Medal.

      In the event of equality in one of the first three overall places after Round
26    B of the third Competition, there will be a jump-off against the clock at
      a speed of 375 m per minute over eight obstacles from the courses of
      Rounds A and B. The course of the jump-off for the third Competition
      will be used for the jump-off of the Overall Individual Classification. The
      Athletes will be invited to inspect the jump-off course.

      If two jump-offs are required, the jump-off for the third place shall prece-
      de the jump-off for the first place and second place. If after the jump-off
      there is equality of Penalties and times for one of the first three places, the
      Athletes concerned will be tied.

      No Athlete will be required to take part in two jump-offs to decide the Ove-
      rall Individual Classification and the Third Competition Classification. If an
      Athlete is involved in more than one tie, e.g., a tie for first, second or third
      place in the Third Competition and a tie for one of the first three places in
      the Overall Individual Classification, he will participate in only one jump-
      off, i.e., the jump-off for the Third Competition. His score in this jump-off
      will count as his score in the jump-off for the Overall Classification.

      Medals will be awarded for individuals: Gold for first place, Silver for second

      course and after the First Horse Inspection. The Chef d’Equipe shall decla-
      re in writing the starters, the starting order and, for three-member teams,

c) Scores

i. Dressage

The points given by the Judges will be converted to negative points, which
will accumulate successively. They will be registered as the final score of
this stage and will be published according to regulations.

                                                                               33
ii. Cross Country

The penalty points of competitors in the obstacles plus the penalties for
exceeding time will be recorded and added to the negative points in this
stage, and the points accumulated will be published according to regu-
lations.

iii. Salto

Each of the penalties in the obstacles will be added to the penalties for
exceeding time, and will be recorded and accumulated in order to obtain
the final result that will determine the placing. They will be published ac-
cording to regulations.

iv. Final Individual Classification

The individual winner will be the athlete who obtains the lowest total of
penalty points after adding the three competitions.

 Technical Manual
 Equestrian
In case of tie, the classification is decided by determining the best Cross
      Country result. If the tie remains, the score will be decided in favor of the
      competitor whose Cross Country time is closest to the optimum time,
      without exceeding it. If the tie still remains, the competitor with the best
      score (obstacles and time) in Jumping will win. If there is still equality, the
      classification will be decided in favor of the competitor with the best per-
      centage score in the Dressage Test. If still tied, the final score remains and
      a tie is declared.

      v. Final Team Classification

      The winning team will be the one with the lowest total of penalty points
      obtained by the top three positioned competitors in the team. For purpo-
      ses of the team classification only, any competitor who does not complete
      the entire competition will be penalized with 1,000 points.

      In the event of equality between any two or more teams, the classification
      will be decided by the best three places combined, e.g., a team with riders
      ranked individually 2nd, 8th and 12th, for a total of 22, will beat a team with
34    riders ranked 1st, 7th and 15th, for a total of 23. If the result is the same
      number, a tie is declared.

      vi. Disqualification or Elimination

      Disqualification or elimination from any competition will be grounds for
      elimination from the final individual classification.

      vii. Maximum Number of Competitors
