Class Descriptions

Table II, Section 1(a)- Time First Round

The first round is decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed. Horses with clean rounds or equal faults are classified according to their time taken to complete the course.

Table II, Section 2(a)- Time First Jump Off

The first round and first jump-off, if any, are decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed. In the event of equality of faults after the first round, there will be one jump-off for first place only in which time will decide in the event of equality of faults. At management’s discretion, each exhibitor may have the option of taking part in the jump-off at the completion of their round as in Table II, Sec 2 (b) or after all exhibitors have completed their first round.

Table II, Section 2(b)- Time First Jump Off

Table II, Section 2(c)- Power and Speed

The first round and first jump-off, if any, are decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed if any. If a competitor has gone clean in the first round, he will, without leaving the ring, upon an audible signal, upon crossing the finish line, commence the designated jump-off course. Time starts as the horse crosses the finish line for the initial course. If there are no clean rounds and a tie exists for first place, there will be one jump-off in which time will decide in the event of equality of faults. The use of a time allowed is optional in the first round.

Gambler's Choice Addback- Highest Points Accumulated

After crossing the START timers, each rider has 60 seconds to accumulate the most points. Each jump will be worth a designated 50 - 300 points. Each jump may be jumped from either direction but may only be jumped twice. Points do not count for a knock down and you cannot jump a fence you have already knocked down. There is no penalty for refusals. Once the 60 seconds is up, the buzzer will sound and the rider must cross the FINISH line quickly. In case two or more riders have a tie in points, the decision will go to the rider fastest to cross the FINISH. Then, each rider will receive a buzzer to jump the JOKER fence worth 500 points if they choose to. A refusal or knock down results in a deduction of 500 points from their total score.

Table V, Section 1- Optimum Time First Round

The first round is decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed. In case of equality of faults, ties will be broken on the following basis: an "Optimum Time" (defined as 4 seconds less than the Time Allowed for the course) will be posted on the course plan: the horse with the time on course closest to this Optimum Time (over or under) will prevail in the tie, next closest next, etc.
