You'd like to think the FEI can read their own rules, which are published for all to see on their website!

Rules for the Super League
Rule 10, on page 5 says this:
[ QUOTE ]

10. Team classification at the end of the Top League season
The points obtained by each team in each of the eight Top League competitions are added together to establish the overall Top League classification at the end of each season.
In case of equality of points for any place on the overall Top League classification, teams are separated by giving preference to the team with the greater number of first place classifications; in case there is still a tie the number of second place classifications will count and if necessary the number of third place classifications and so on if the necessity arises.

[/ QUOTE ]
 
Not feeling well apparently, lets hope its nothing much. Thoguh I doubt hed miss the presentation for anything minor.
 
I might have to rain on my own bonfire here!

Reading on further, I get to rule 16:
[ QUOTE ]

16. Relegation of Top League Teams
The two last placed teams in the overall standings at the end of each season will be relegated to the FEI Nations Cup Promotional League. Teams tying on points for either of the last two places in the final classification of the Top League are separated by relegating the two teams with the greatest number of last places in the Top League competitions. If further ties exist the teams with the greatest number of second last places are relegated and so on until a tie no longer exists.

[/ QUOTE ]

It appears that the 2 rules conflict with each other! According to this, we finish 8th overall, but are relegated!!

I guess they are wary of making an official announcement without consulting the teams. As Robert/John said earlier, you can be sure there will be litigation after this.
 
yeah but I dont really know timothee, kevin is as close to a friend as I have got among showjumpers. I am most worried, espcially as he has just come back from Brazil. will send out the spies.
 
How nice of RTE to show all the presentation etc. Would have liked to have seen the lap of honour - hope the Italian guy handed the trophy over to Marcus Fuchs and didn't gallop round with it - can you imagine dropping it! Which rider was on his mobile during the presentation - I am a bit old fashioned but not sure that is really the done thing!
