Appendix 3: European Cup Combined Events format from 2013

As decided by the Council on its meeting in Paris/FRA, 7 March 2011, the European Cup Combined Events will have a new format starting in 2013, as follows:

To merge men & women teams into a single team representing each country; As the European Cup Combined Events (All leagues) will not be staged in 2012, the results of 2011 (Super League in Torun/POL, 1st League in Bressanone/ITA and 3rd League in Ribeira Brava/POR) will decide the ranking for 2013; The distribution of the teams into the three leagues for 2013 will be based on the combined score of the 3 best men & women athletes of each country during the ECCE 2011; Only the countries that took part in the ECCE 2011 will be considered for the distribution of teams the European Cup Combined Events 2013; Countries which will not take part at the 2011 edition will be considered unqualified countries and therefore included in the Second League on the 2013 edition; The division of the leagues and teams in 2013 will be as follows:

Super League top 8 teams of 2011 First League 2nd 8 teams of 2011 Second League Remaining teams of 2011, unqualified countries

Example of possible ranking based on the 2010 ECCE results:

Example: Estonia (Mikk Pahapill (2nd M) 8198 + Andres Raja (3rd M) 8023 + Mikk-Mihkel Arro (9th M) 7525 + Grit Šadeiko (8th W) 5810 + Mari Klaup (10th W) 5739 + Veera Baranova (13th) 5684 = Total 40979 Such a qualification system will be only valid for 2013. From 2014 on the Member Federations’ qualification will be based on the traditional promotion/relegation system, resulting from the scoring achieved by each team (men & women together) in the respective league. Note: The amended regulations will be published once the 2011 edition of the

European Cup Combined Events 2011 has taken place as they will be in force from 2013.
