About Nations' Cup
The BMO Nations' Cup is the only competition in which nations
are represented by selected teams. Teams from participating
countries may 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 best three scores from each team are
added together for a first round total.
The top six teams return in reverse order of standing to jump
the identical course in the second round. Again, the three best
scores for each team are added to the first round total to
determine the ultimate winner. In the case of equality of penalties
for first place, the Chef d'Equipe selects a single team member to
jump off.
