You have been appointed as IT Provider at an international Event and you must provide the FEI with the Event results?
You want to use XML format in order to submit the XML results files directly to the FEI web interface?
The FEI TSS department provides XML format for Automated Results Processing that was developed to facilitate data exchange between Organising Committees, National Federations, and the FEI. This results format can be used for any of the 6 FEI disciplines.
You need first to complete the NDA Form (Non-disclosure agreement) to get an access to the FEI Database and to upload by yourself XML results files.
You also need XSD files to implement the XML format in your own software on our website. Please find the XSD files for each FEI Disciplines by clicking here.
Step 1: You need to log in to the FEI Database https://data.fei.org/default.aspx with your FEI ID and your Password. If you do not have an FEI ID, please send an email to results@fei.org.
Step 2: To produce XML files with all the data required by the FEI, you will need to retrieve the following information on the FEI Database:

After generating an XML file from your own software with the information of the Event and Show you have downloaded, you will be able to upload the XML file directly to the FEI Database web interface.
