Rolex Rankings For The Best Riders

FEI World CupRolex events have been known to be a delight for fans as they always have the best talent on display. The participating riders look forward to the events not only because they offer world-class competition but also as each feat helps them collect valuable points. Every achievement that earns the riders points is taken into account while calculating the Rolex Rankings. Points accumulated from January 1 to December 31 are taken into account for calculating the final rankings. The FEI headquarters produce the list for the Rolex Rankings each year. These lists are updated each week and released in the first week of each month to the public. These Rolex Rankings go a step further in recognizing the effort and hard work put in by the riders all year around.

Rolex not only recognizes riders but also sportspersons in various other fields like sailing, sports car racing, golf and junior golf. Rolex aims at bringing the best sports talent of the world to the fore-front. It not only recognizes sports talent but also by providing a world-class platform for competitors it gives new talent an opportunity to prove itself. Rolex rewards its winners equally well as the ceremonies organized to announce the honorees are exceptional events. The points accumulated by the riders are refreshed each month. The year begins with points carried over from the previous; however, once points are accumulated in a month and added to the list, the points from the very same month in the previous year are dropped. The points from Games and Championships are included depending upon the frequency at which they are held. For events that are held each year the points are dropped on the following basis: 25% points dropped after one year, 50% dropped after two years, 75% dropped after three years and the remaining Rolex after four years. For events that are held once in every two years, half the points are dropped after one year and the rest after two years.

The Rankings are based on the points accumulated in individual competitions, team competitions as well as Olympic Games, Pan-American Games, European Championship (Seniors), Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Final and Asian Games. In individual competitions the points are related to the placing of riders in the competition. In team competitions points are based on the riders’ results. Points are also earned if they obtain four or less penalty points in at least one of the rounds. The riders therefore keep as close a watch on each round as the fans and judges. Bonus points are awarded to riders placed in the first three ranks at the Olympic Games, Pan-American Games, European Championship (seniors), Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Final and Asian Games in addition to the points accumulated during the competitions. There is a ranking list for the Horse-Rider combination each year. If either the rider or the horse in the combination happens to change during the year, the points are then calculating from scratch. The list begins each year for the combination rankings with zero points and do not have any carry over points either. There is no limit on the number of competitions per event that can be counted for the list of the Rolex Rankings.
