    The low, intermediate and high amateur classes are limited on ranking and winnings for riders and on recent winnings for the horses, while the two veteran classes are restricted by age.

    Eachregion will hold amateur qualifiers at 1.05m (low), 1.15m (intermediate) and 1.20m (high) plus 1.10m (minor) and 1.20m (major) for veteran riders between 16 September and 17 November. Ten horse/rider combinations in each class will qualify forthe finals.
