The qualification standards for all European & World Championships are:
a) An individual medal-winning performance at one of the Nominated International Competitions in the same competitive age category or above (excluding U23) during the current season; or
b) An individual medal-winning performance at a Major Championship in the previous season in the same competitive age category or above.
c) Meeting the qualification standards of the competitive age categories above their current FIE age categories (U17, U20, Senior) they typically compete within would also be deemed to have met the qualification standards for their lower age groups.
For example: a cadet meeting the qualification standards for the Junior Major Championships would be considered as meeting the qualification standard for Cadet Major Championships. A Junior meeting qualification standard for the Senior Major Championships would also be considered as meeting qualification standard at the Junior level.
d) their final individual placing percentage is less than or equal to 8%* at one of the Nominated International Competitions in the same competitive age category from V 1.0 Approved Page 24 of 48 competitions held during the current season plus the previous season’s European and World Championships; or

Seniors and U23s: 40%*
Juniors: 38%*
Cadets: 35%*
