Anyone know how these rankings are calculated?
Probably FEI points.

Is it cumulative? Average across events? Top 10 results?
If it is cumulative then someone that runs a lot of horses is going to be ranked high on sheer volume alone.
It’s kind of a tricky system that doesn’t necessarily reflect a rider’s overall season. It is best 6 scores and a complicated point system. For example, Liz Halliday-Sharp is 28th but she’s almost beat the record set by Piggy March for most FEI wins in a year. Whereas Lauren has one FEI win and overall higher finishing scores. But regardless of the weird way they do the points, it’s great to see some Americans in the top!

I guess this explains why Tim Price and Ollie Townend are doing Maryland.
RANKING RULES;
I think they also saw how few are competing in the MD5* and are looking at the prize money with a gleam in their eyes lol.
