Balloting will remain part of the British Eventing (BE) entries system for the first events of 2023. This is a change from plans announced in October 2022, when BE announced that balloting would be scrapped for 2023.

For later fixtures, event organisers will be able to decide whether to use this system or take entries on a first come, first served basis.
