I'm going to be scuppered by a 9am teams call ???

 

[ihatework]

Well I took the day off work.
There are 8 people rocking up to mine in the morning for a full English. There are also multiple bottles of fizz chilling - it’s never too early right?!

Noooo! Teams call on phone and Discovery on comp?

Never.

Never.

Discovery on TV in the background and hope I don't have to contribute much ?

 

[Lexi_]

I’ve got the week off work ???

Shall mostly be hiding behind cushions during the SJ. I get so nervous ?

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I've always found the showjumping much more nerve wracking to watch!
I'll be up sharp tomorrow to get our gang done and back in time for it starting.

"Hello. Hello. Hello, can you all hear me? Hello.

*silence*

Hellloooo. *sigh*

*mutters connection problems again* *sigh* Hello?

Hit "end call"

Not that I'd ever do that of course. Unless the Teams call coincided with the last six to jump...

Just don't cheer too loudly incase the conversation is 'we're thinking of making Betty redundant'

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh the joys of working in a school has its benefits at times.?

 

[teapot]

Brazil have made a team swap

That's what I call style!

See you there. Morning off work but may have to watch individuals whilst doing TEAMs in the office in the pm. I thought it finished at 12.30 not 2.30.

 

[suebou]

In office, argh. Seeing people, keep phone under desk on discovery? Go to loo a lot?

Uh? A horse which has not done the dressage or xc is allowed to do the team SJ? How does that work, surly that's unfair to present a fresh horse? Am I being thick here?

Haven't you suddenly been pinged by the app? Suffering from a cough and high temp?

New rules, but comes at a price of twenty penalties on their team score.

They are allowed too and I think this was the horse that was too tired to finish the XC. They get a huge penalty -200?? So are unlikely to win but still get a team finish. If they pulled a rider and no substitute happened then they’d no longer be eligible for the team… is my understanding.

*Apologies 200 for not completing the XC and 20 for the sub.

 

[Sealine]

Is the only coverage on Discovery+? I’ve not heard any mention of eventing on the BBC.

That's my plan! ?

Ooh, was that my phone?

I don’t think they can really commit in advance to anything, as it’s all a huge juggling act for them. I’m sure they’ll show some of it but you’ll be best on Discovery if you don’t want to miss anything.

I might do what I did with the XC and switch to the BBC for better commentary when we find out they do have it on!

 

[fetlock]

Hoping they'll at least show the last six for the team SJ and similar for the individual. Anything less than that would be so bad.

 

[Honey08]

I’m going to get the yard done by nine, but I probably won’t pay a close attention until it gets down to the top 15 or so. I don’t enjoy the show jumping phase at all. I’ve got to pot some plants, so will probably do that with the jumping playing too.

Unless I can figure out where Ihatework and her bottles of fizz are!??

Is the trot up on anywhere?

 

[teapot]

All four Brits accepted!

Sadly not - Eventing Nation are live tweeting it, but all Brits through!

Thought you were having an early night?! ?

Oh the intention was there! Wide awake - I blame a week of late night sport ?
