There is a new competition format for Jumping at Tokyo 2020. In summary, the new format involves no drop score, teams will be made up for 3 horse and rider combinations with all scores to count. Teams may also take a reserve combination which can be substituted prior to the start of the individual and team qualification rounds.

The other big change is that individual medals will be decided before the team medals. All 75 combinations will jump in the first individual competition with the top 30 going through to the individual final. In the team qualifier 20 teams will line up for the qualifier with the top 10 going through to the final

Here is a fantastic video that FEI have produced, which gives a clear explanation of how the jumping events will be run in Tokyo 2020.
