The team qualifier will be a Table A against the clock (FEI Jumping Rules art. 238.2.1). The course will count 12-14 obstacles and a maximum of 17 efforts, with the fences set to a height of 1.40-1.65m. Teams will be placed by adding together the penalties and time incurred by the three horse-and-rider combinations on each team; there is no drop-score. A pair that is eliminated or retires will not be given a score, and the team score is counted by adding together the time and penalties of the horse-and-rider combinations that completed their rounds. Teams with all three riders completing their rounds will be placed above teams with only two complete rounds. In case of a disqualification of any of the pairs, the entire team will be disqualified.
