About the Nations Cup
The BMO Nations’ Cup is the only competition where nations are represented by selected teams. Teams from participating countries can consist of three or four riders and are led by a Chef d’Equipe. Each member of each team will jump one round over a course of 12 obstacles. The top three scores from each team are added together for a first round total.
The top six teams return in reverse order to jump the same course in the second round. Again, the top three scores for each team are added to the first round total to determine the final winner. In the event of a tie for first place, the Chef d’Equipe selects a single team member to drop out.
