Jumped over two rounds set at 1.65m, the prize purse for this competitions is at 1,25 million Euros. The starting order for the first round is established by a draw, while the second round is jumped in the reverse order according to the penalties and times of the first round. 

The final team event takes place on Sunday, with €6,5 million on offer. Jumped over two rounds set at 1.60m, the competition is open to the six best teams from the semi-final team competition held during the week. 

The winning team will be established adding together the total penalties of the team’s three horse-and-rider combinations in the two rounds. In case of equality of total penalty points, the aggregate time per team in the second round will be decisive.
