An MER (Minimum Eligibility Requirement) is achieved when an athlete has no more than 45 penalty points in the dressage test (minimum of 55% dressage good marks), no more than 16 show jumping penalties and clear jumping cross country.
Underage athletes competing at EI90 or EI100 will need to contact their regional co-ordinator if they wish to upgrade to EI110 level. Underage athletes looking to upgrade to EI110 will need to be assessed by an HSI Level 2 or 3 Eventing Coach.
The ERQI must also be green or amber for an athlete to upgrade.
You may be able to upgrade a level or compete at international level when you have the required MERs. You can read more about MER’s here.
