803. STAR LEVEL OF EVENTS
803.1 CEIs, CEIOs and Championships are divided into three star levels (3* being the highest
level):
803.1.1 1*: Competitions between 100-119 km in one day.
803.1.2 2*: Competitions between 120- 139 km in one day, or between 70- 89 km per day over two
days.
803.1.3 3*: Competitions between 140- 160 km in one day, or 90-100 km per day over two days,
or 70-80 km per day over three days or more.
803.2 Unless specified otherwise, the requirements that apply to CEI star levels apply to CEIOs
of the same star level.
803.3 The FEI will determine, in consultation with the FEI Endurance Technical
Committee, the OC and relevant National Federations, what CEI star level requirements apply to
any Event not covered under Article 803.1.
803.4 The FEI may create special categories of events for emerging programmes in developing
nations or regions or for the purposes of research into potential changes to these Endurance
Rules. The FEI may apply such CEI star level requirements to those events (including for
Officials and eligibility to participate) as it considers appropriate regardless of the length of
the course at the event. In such cases, the FEI will request ongoing input from National
Federations and Technical Committees.
