Selection for Tour #1 was based on the rider’s ranking on the March 30, 2007 USEF Computer List, and their availability. While the Selection Procedure for CSIO/CSI competition includes the possibility of two discretionary choices by the chef d’equipe, riders for this tour were chosen strictly according to their ranking on the March 30, 2007 USEF Computer List..
The Samsung Super League Series consists of the eight premier show jumping competitions in Europe selected by the FEI. Only the top eight countries qualify to send teams to the Super League making it the foremost elite international show jumping competition. To qualify teams must finish the previous year’s Super League Series ranked first through seventh. The last team, or eight ranked, is dropped and is replaced by the team ranked first in the Nation’s Cup league. The eighth ranked team then competes in the Nation’s Cup league with the goal of regaining their Super League status.
In 2005 the United States Team won the Super League and in 2006 it finished second behind Germany. George H. Morris is the Chef d’Equipe for the United States.
