The team eventing in equestrian at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin was held on the May Field (for dressage), in Döberitz (for cross-country), and at the Olympiastadion (for jumping) from 13 to 16 August.[1] Scores from individual competitions were used to determine team results. Any nation with three individual horse and rider pairs was entered as a team, with team score being the sum of the three individual scores.[2] All three pairs had to finish the event for the team to receive a place, however; this eliminated 10 out of the 14 teams.[2]

Competition format

The team and individual eventing competitions used the same scores. Eventing consisted of a dressage test, a cross-country test, and a jumping test respectively.

The dressage test was a 12 section test. The maximum time allotted was 13 minutes including deduction points. The maximum score was 400 points, though the results typically listed the difference between the score and that maximum (that is, a score of 250 would be listed as a "loss of points" of 150).[3]

The 36 km cross-country test had five phases: (1) a 7 km road stretch; (2) a 4 km, 12 obstacle steeplechase; (3) a 15 km road stretch; (4) an 8 km, 35 obstacle cross-country course; and (5) a 2 km road stretch.[4] Points could be lost for refusals or falls at the obstacles in the second a fourth phases, with three refusals at the same obstacle resulting in elimination.[5] Points could also be lost if maximum time limits for each phase were exceeded; however, points could be gained instead if the pair finished the obstacle phases under the allotted time.[5]

The jumping test featured 12 obstacles and had a time limit of 155 seconds. Points were lost for faults (including elimination for the third refusal on the course) and for exceeding the time limit.[5]
