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 1 January 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 1 January 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.
All FEI-recognized competitions, regardless of discipline, are rated on a "star" system. In eventing, the 5* level is the highest and the 1* level is the lowest of the FEI-recognised divisions.
Additionally, there are many competitions held at levels below the one-star. These competitions are not FEI-recognized, and are usually held under the rules of a country's national governing body.
Prior to 2019, the 4* was the highest level. All existing competitions were moved up one star level, and a new 1* Introductory level instituted below the old 1* classification.
CCI-L Competitions are held under FEI rules for Three Day Events, including the General Rules and Veterinary Regulations. They are international three-day events, as opposed to a national competition or a one- or two-day horse trial.
The CCI5* is highest level of eventing competition under the banner of the FEI. This competition is for horses with a good deal of experience and success in international competition. It includes the Olympics (although the Olympics are usually made easier, at more of a four-star level, to allow a greater number of nations to compete successfully), the FEI World Equestrian Games,[citation needed] and seven annual horse trials each year. As of 2024[update] these are:
