New Format
The Longines League of Nations is different as the traditional Nations Cup competitions. The competition is jumped over two rounds with identical courses.
In the first round each of the four team members will take the start. The three best results will count. The top eight nations will continue to round two.
In this second round only three combinations will represent each nation. In this round each result counts. The winning team is the team with the lowest combined score after two rounds.
In case a jump-off is necessary to determine the winner, only one combination will represent each nation in this extra round.
