Podium at the 2016 World Cup finals

The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup (Longines FEI Jumping World Cup ™) is a series of tournaments organized by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) since 1978 . The source of ideas for the organization of a show jumping World Cup is the then editor-in-chief of the Luzerner Tagblatt , the Swiss Max E. Ammann , who also headed the World Cup until 2003. The highlight of the World Cup is the World Cup final , which takes place every April .

The first sponsor of the World Cup was Volvo . Subsequently, until the 2013 World Cup finals, Rolex was the title sponsor of the tournament series. Longines has been the new title sponsor of the Show Jumping World Cup since the 2013/2014 season . Until the 2017/2018 season, the tournament series was referred to as the FEI World Cup Show Jumping (FEI World Cup ™ Jumping).

Qualification for the World Cup Finals

In order to be able to take part in the World Cup finals, the riders must qualify through so-called leagues . While there were only two leagues in the first World Cup season (1978/79) - one in Europe (with nine qualifying tournaments) and one in North America - in the 2018/19 season there were now 16 leagues that are spread across the world as follows :

League / sub-league	geographical location	Number of participants who qualify for the World Cup finals (according to the 2012/2013 regulations)	Participants up to the following rank in the respective league ranking can move up (including "extra competitors")
Western European League	European countries west of the line Finland - Baltic Sea - Germany - Austria - Italy - Adriatic Sea (including the states mentioned)	18th	to 27th rank
Northern Central European League	Russia , Belarus , Baltic States , Poland , Czech Republic , Slovakia , Ukraine	3	up to 4th rank
Southern Central European League	Hungary , Romania , successor states of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , Greece , Turkey	3	up to 4th rank
North American League - East Coast	Eastern states of the United States of America	7 Americans, 2 Canadians, 2 Mexicans	Americans: up to 12th rank, Canadians and Mexicans: up to 5th rank each
North American League - West Coast	Western states of the United States of America	3 Americans	to 5th rank
Southern South American League	Argentina , Brazil , Chile , Uruguay and Paraguay	2	up to 4th rank
Australian League	Australia	2	up to 3rd rank
New Zealand League	New Zealand	1	up to 2nd rank
Japan League	Japan	1	up to 2nd rank
Chinese league	People's Republic of China including Hong Kong	1	up to 2nd rank
Southeast Asian League	Brunei , Cambodia , Indonesia , Malaysia , Myanmar , Philippines , Singapore and Thailand	1	up to 2nd rank
Central Asian League	Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Uzbekistan	1	up to 2nd rank
South African League	Republic of South Africa	1	up to 2nd rank
Arab League - Middle East	States on the Arabian Peninsula , Syria , Jordan	3	to 5th rank
Arab League - North Africa	Egypt , Morocco	2	to 5th rank
Caucasian-Caspian League	Armenia , Azerbaijan , Georgia , Iran	1	Moving up is not permitted

Three leagues are provided for in the regulations but are not currently hosted:

League / sub-league	geographical location	Number of participants who qualify for the World Cup finals (according to the 2012/2013 regulations)	Participants up to the following rank in the respective league ranking can move up (including "extra competitors")
Korean League	South Korea	1	Moving up is not permitted
Central American and Caribbean League	Costa Rica , Cuba , Dominican Republic , El Salvador , Guatemala , Honduras , Nicaragua , Panama and Puerto Rico	1	up to 2nd rank
Northern South American League	Bolivia , Peru , Colombia , Ecuador and Venezuela	1	up to 2nd rank

Participants (up to the rank named in the table above) can move up to the World Cup finals if another qualified participant does not participate in the World Cup finals.

If a rider resides in a country other than his home country, he can participate in the league of this country and is initially also counted for this league (“extra competitor”). After the season has been completed, he will be deducted from the rating of this league, if he has reached at least as many points as the last qualified rider from this league, he is also qualified for the World Cup finals.

Up until the 2009/2010 season, the FEI was able to give a rider who did not qualify for the World Cup final a wild card , which enables this rider to participate in the World Cup final.

A wild card can be awarded by the national equestrian association that organizes the World Cup finals - for example the German Equestrian Association in Germany - if no rider from this country has qualified for the World Cup finals. Until the 2009/2010 season, the national equestrian federation had the opportunity to award two wildcards regardless of the number of qualified riders.

Furthermore, the previous year's winner of the World Cup final is also qualified for the World Cup final of the following year.

Qualification tournaments are marked as CSI-W . Outside the Western European League, some of the World Cup qualifications take place as part of the Nations Cup tournaments and are then marked as CSIO-W. In the Western European League, the qualification tournaments must be CSI 5 * tournaments, the qualification test in turn must be advertised as a jumping competition with a single jump-off. For the qualification tests of the Western European League, a prize money of at least € 85,000 must be announced.

Notes on the table:

1. ↑ ^{a b c d} The figures given apply to the entire Central European League. Which participants from the Northern and Southern Central European League qualify will be decided in a final tournament at the end of the World Cup season (before the World Cup finals).
2. ↑ ^{a b} Separate consideration according to nationalities. Two riders from Canada and two from Mexico qualify for the World Cup finals, which are determined from both North American leagues. Moving up is also based on nationality, for Canadians and Mexicans up to the fifth-placed Canadians / Mexicans from the entire North American League.

Scoring

The respective overall ratings of the individual leagues result from rating points that are awarded in each qualification test. The number of evaluation points that a participant receives is determined by the number of participants in the qualification test and according to his rank in this. With 16 and more participants (which is basically the case in the Western European League - a maximum of forty participants may take part in a qualification test, which is usually achieved due to the high performance density), the points are awarded according to the following system:

The Brazilian show jumper Rodrigo Pessoa with Coeur at the 2007 World Cup finals in Las Vegas

• 1st place: 20 rating points
• 2nd place: 17 evaluation points
• 3rd place: 15 evaluation points
• 4th place: 13 points
• 5th place: 12 evaluation points
• 6th place: 11 evaluation points
• 7th place: 10 evaluation points
• 8th place: 9 evaluation points
• 9th place: 8 evaluation points
• 10th place: 7 evaluation points
• 11th place: 6 rating points
• 12th place: 5 evaluation points
• 13th place: 4 rating points
• 14th place: 3 evaluation points
• 15th place: 2 rating points
• 16th place: 1 point

The world cup final

The World Cup finals always take place in April, at the end of a World Cup season. The venue changes annually.

The World Cup final consists of three sub-tests, the results of which are added together. The rider with the lowest number of fault points after all partial tests is the World Cup winner of the respective World Cup season. The partial exams are spread over four days (third day is rest day) according to the following regulations:

Partial examination	Type of examination	Height of jumps	Scoring system
first partial examination	Time jumping test (winner is the rider who needed the lowest time for the circuit, rod drops are converted into time - four seconds per drop)	up to 1.50 meters	The winner receives one point more than riders took part in the test; the runner-up receives one point less than riders took part in the test; all subsequent riders will each receive one point less than the participant placed in front of you.
second partial examination	Jumping competition with a single jump-off (all participants with the lowest number of rod drops and refusals - usually zero - get into the jump-off; the rider with the fewest rod drops and refusals in the jump-off wins the test; in the event of a tie, the time required decides.)	1.50 meters to 1.60 meters	same scoring system as in the first partial test
			After the first two partial exams, the points achieved by the participants are added together. These evaluation points are then converted into fault points. The participant with the highest number of evaluation points will be evaluated with zero fault points; The following applies to all other participants: The distance between their rating points and the leader's rating points are multiplied by 0.5 - the result is their number of fault points. In the event that this results in half points, these are rounded down to whole numbers.
third part examination	Jumping competition with two rounds (Both rounds are the same length with the same number of obstacles, the difficulty is increased in the second round. Winners are all participants who achieve the lowest number of rod drops and refusals in both rounds combined. Time does not matter here .)	1.50 meters to 1.60 meters	The error points (resulting from the number of rod drops and refusals) from the two circulations are added to the error points that were calculated after the second partial test. The rider with the least total number of faulty points is the World Cup winner. If two or more participants are in the lead with the same number of faults at this point, a subsequent jump-off between these participants will decide on the World Cup victory.

Each rider can start with up to two horses in the World Cup final, whereby only one horse per rider may be started in each partial test. Since the overall ranking is related to the rider, the results of the partial tests are added together even if a rider started with more than one horse. These regulations were introduced in 1981.
