At the end of the qualifying round, 24 teams will be selected for the final in Bordeaux, i.e. two teams per department. If a department is unable to field two teams, an additional team will be selected from the departments with the most members.

The qualification circuit will run from 09/09 to 12/18/2023. Each team qualifies on the stages of its own department.

If, and only if, your department does not offer 3 stages, it is possible to qualify in a neighboring department. You will need to notify your departmental committee so that it can take into account your results outside your home department.

Each club may enter one or more teams of 2 licensed riders on the qualifying circuit. The club must declare the teams entered to its departmental committee before 09/03/2023. Should an equestrian center qualify several teams for the Final, a maximum of 2 teams will be selected (the 2 best).

Each result earns points for each rider according to the following scale:

1st : 20 points                7th : 9 points     

2nd : 17 points               8th : 7 points 

3rd : 15 points               9th : 5 points 

4th : 13 points               10th : 3 points 

5th : 12 points               11th : 2 points 

6th : 11 points               12th : 1 points

Points are awarded according to the event ranking. At the end of the circuit, the cumulative points will be used to establish a final team ranking (cumulative points for the 2 riders).

Points are accumulated by the rider (not the horse/rider pair). A rider may compete on the qualifying circuit with more than one horse.

In the event of a total tie for points in the same department, the best-placed teams on the computer list will be selected.
