The Team Relay event consists of 16 teams of three athletes competing in a continuous relay completed in one day.

Each team member fires 10 shots, swims 100m, fences one opposing team member, runs 1,000m, and rides a horse over 8 x show jumps.

Shooting

All team members shoot 10 shots each, a total of 30 shots. 1000 pentathlon points = 258 shooting points (maximum is 300 points). Every shooting point above or below 258 is worth 12 pentathlon points.

Fencing

Each team member fence one person in another team, but with 3 bouts (matches) instead of one as in the individual competition.

If a team wins 70 % of all their matches they earn 1000 p. Each victory above/below is worth +/-12 points.

Swimming

Relay 3x100 m (total 300 m).
Men, 3 min 15 s = 1000 points. Women, 3 min 30 s = 1000 points and +/- 4 points for 0.33 s above/below this time.

Riding

Show jumping, speed 350 metres/minute, 9 single obstacles (no double or triple), maximum height 1.20 metre. Relay ride 3x350 metres.

A fault free ride under the standard time 3 minutes will give the team 1200 points.

For each second above that standard time the score is reduced with 4 points.

A time above 4 minutes gives further deduction of 240 points and also 80 points for every not jumped obstacle.

Knockdown gives 16 points, refusal or disobedience to jump 20 points deduction.

Any disobedience leading to the knocking down of an obstacle gives 32 points deduction.

An incorrect change over in the relay will give 40 points deduction.

Running

Cross-country relay running 3x1500 metres, chase start.
Men, 14 min = 1000 p. Women, 15 min 30 s = 1000 p. +/- 4 p for every whole second above/below that time.
