Concours Complet International

The Concours Complet International ( CCI ) and the Concours International Combiné (CIC ) are defined by the World Equestrian Association FEI ratings for the discipline of eventing. The original difference between the two formats was that CCI tests the four phases A, B, C and D included, the CIC checks only the phase D ( A = Short distance, B = steeplechase, C = Long distance, D = cross country ). Since 2004, both formats only include the D- phase. Differences are that the CCI format has more obstacles than the CIC format and the fact that in CCI tests, the jumping must be the last part test mandatory. In both formats, the dressage test must be at the beginning of the test.
