Editing Eventing (section)

====Current scoring====
The dressage score is converted to a percentage and the penalty points calculated by subtracting the percentage from 100. This is rounded to 1 decimal digit.<ref>{{cite book |title=Eventing Rules 25th Edition effective 1st January 2019 |date=3 December 2018 |publisher=Fédération Equestre Internationale |location=Switzerland |pages=62–63}}</ref>

In cross country, penalty points are awarded for jumping errors and for time.<ref>{{cite book |title=Eventing Rules 25th Edition effective 1st January 2019 |date=3 December 2018 |publisher=Fédération Equestre Internationale |location=Switzerland |page=69}}</ref> In the jumping, 20 penalty points are awarded for a first refusal at an obstacle and 40 penalty points for a second refusal (the rider is eliminated on their third refusal). Two refusals at different obstacles each attract 20 penalty points. If a horse jumps an obstacle, but the body of the horse does not pass completely between the flags, 15 penalty points are awarded, only if the horse would have cleared the obstacle's height had it been better positioned. If a horse activates an obstacle's [[frangible device]], 11 penalty points are awarded.

Time penalties<ref>{{cite book |title=Eventing Rules 25th Edition effective 1st January 2019 |date=3 December 2018 |publisher=Fédération Equestre Internationale |location=Switzerland |page=69}}</ref> are awarded for being too slow over the optimum time at a rate of 0.4 penalty points per second over this time up to the time limit (twice the optimum time) at which point the competitor is eliminated. Some national bodies implement a fastest time allowed for lower grades where more inexperienced riders compete. The fastest time allowed can range from 20 seconds to 45 seconds faster than the optimum time. Typically, penalty points are awarded at a rate of 1 per second faster than this time.

In the show jumping test,<ref>{{cite book |title=Eventing Rules 25th Edition effective 1st January 2019 |date=3 December 2018 |publisher=Fédération Equestre Internationale |location=Switzerland |pages=72–73}}</ref> either knocking down of the obstacle or refusing to jump the obstacle attracts 4 penalty points. In the case of a knock, riders are permitted to continue to the next obstacle. However, if the obstacle was refused, it must be reattempted. A second refusal at the same obstacle results in elimination. Similarly to the cross country, time penalty points are awarded at a rate of 0.4 penalty points per second commenced over the optimum time.
