Proponent: Combined Driving Committee
Status: CDC-recommended FEI change proposals (posted 29July17). Subject to FEI approving changes and final wording.

Revised Wording:

960.6 Paces

Delete 6.1 & 6.2:

6.1 The finish of Section B must not be more than 300 m from the exit of the last Obstacle unless the Technical Delegate grants an exception. If the last obstacle is situated within 300 m of the finish, Athletes may stop within 30m of the out gate of the obstacle to repair a broken or detached harness without penalty. A 30m marker will be placed on the track to indicate this point if the last obstacle is within 300 m of the finish.

6.2 Between last obstacle (or 300m) and finish, pace must be trot or walk only. The Athlete will accumulate one penalty point for each five seconds the turnout is not at the walk or trot.

Keep:

6.1 Walk Section. At ADS-recognized events, gates, sharp turns, water and steep hills should not be included in the walk section.

Reason for Change: Paragraphs 1 and 2 become redundant with implementation of Last Transfer section.
