Concours Complet International
The Concours Complet International (CCI) is the competition rating for the equestrian sport of eventing, given by the international governing body for the sport, the FEI. The rating system was recently changed, effective January 1, 2019. Originally, competitions were held in two formats, CCI and CIC (Concours International Combiné). The difference between the two was that the 4 phases of cross-country (A, B, C, and D) were held in CCI competition, while CIC (Concours International Combiné) competition only ran the D phase. With the advent of the new format (which abolished phases A, B, and C), the FEI agreed to change the distances of the CCI to make it more difficult than the CIC competitions. Thus, CIC competitions had fewer obstacles on a shorter course than CCI competitions. As of January 1, 2019, CCI competitions have been renamed to CCI-L (Long) and CIC to CCI-S (Short). The term CIC is no longer officially in use. Starring system All FEI-recognized competitions, regardle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
