Excuse such a rookie post - Difference between CCI and CIC?

[gloster_image]

Can someone please explain the difference between CCI* and CIC* etc? I'm getting myself all confused!

 

[Bossanova]

CCIs are 3 days CICs are international one days so basically normal events but run under FEI rules and often count as qualifictaions towards CCIs

1* is novice level but generally with more technical and longer xc tracks and the dressage test is harder

Thank you

that clears up my confusion!

CIC's are usually shorter xc courses that there CCI equivilent

CCI is always over 3 or 4 days, CIC is over 1 or at most 2 days. CIC can be dr, sj, xc, or dr, xc, sj, whereas CCI is always dr, xc, sj. not always 2 trot-ups at CIC either, iirc.
CIC is a glorified one-day event, basically, i think.

Gatcombe CIC ran over 3 days

They had a trot-up before dressage. The CIC I did at lulworth a few years ago had a trot up before dressage and a formal trot-up the day after xc, before sj

Oh good lord you eventers confuse the hell out of me!!

It's quite an interesting question as tbh there aren't at current with the short format that many differences, except a longer xc at CCI etc. ERA wants to have always have xc last in order to create a greater distinction.

In the view of the replies, this WAS NOT A ROOKIE POST

All I know is whenever I look at how much the entry fee is for either I need a chair to sit down..

 

[kerilli]

did individual classes at Gatcombe CIC actually run over 3 days? crikey, i didn't know that. i suppose they're trying to justify the cost of a glorified one day as far as qualifications are concerned.

What does "CCI" and "CIC" actually stand for?

 

[flohelf]

CCI:Concours Complet International
CIC:Concours International de Complet
Can you tell the difference

?

 

[kerilli]

Concours Complet Internationale is the first one, definitely... i really hope the second isn't Concourse Internationale Complet...

I know 1* is novice but Chepstow 1* ran over the Int course...

 

[flyingfeet]

Ohh so its French

Why is the international eventing community using a french definition?????

 

[kerilli]

cos of the FEI i guess.

 

[MissDeMeena]

also.. a CIC** will help towards qualifying you for a CCI**, and a CIC*** will help towards CCI*** and CCI**** qualification...

BUT a CIC* will not qualify you for a CCI*.. you need either an Int. or a novice 2day for that..

 

[flohelf]

Beats me

... but why not ?

 

[Rambo]
