Helmets to be Equestrian Helmets rated at PCQ standards as stands A/NZ 3838, A/NZ ARB HS 2012, EN 1384 (made up to and including 2015) BS PAS 015 (1998 or 2011) VG01.040 (2014-12) or ASTM F1163 or better. 10. CLASSES If numbers in any class are insufficient, classes may be combined. Groups of over 30 riders but less than 40 riders may be divided into two groups, but will be divided if numbers exceed 40. If there are less than 3 riders in any group the riders do not form part of a team (Zone or State). 11. SCORING Dressage 10 points to 1 point are descending to 10th place. The overall placings are determined by these points. In the event of a tie for overall placings, the actual marks for the number of tests involved will be averaged and the rider with the highest average score will be champion. If still equal, the rider with the highest score in the highest test will be the winner. Combined Training On each Judge’s sheet the good marks awarded for each movement together with the collective marks are added deducting any penalties for errors of course or test. For each judge the percentage of maximum possible good marks by the maximum possible good marks obtainable, and then multiplying by 100 and rounding the result to two decimal digits (any score of “x.xx5” and above is rounded up and any score less than “x.xx5” is rounded down. This value is shown as the individual percentage for that Judge. This percentage is then converted to penalty point. This is subtracted from 100 and multiplied by 1.0 with the resulting figure being rounded to ONE decimal digit. The result is the score in penalty points for the dressage test. ] Any penalties incurred in the jumping phase are added to the penalty points for the dressage test. If the final score gives equality of marks to two or more competitors, the classification is decided by the best (lowest) dressage score. If there is still equality, the closest to optimum time (under the time set) in the jumping test determines the result. Horse Trials Groups are scored 10 to 1 descending from 1 to 10 th place to determine team results and for team scoring riders completing the 3 phases but not in the top ten receive 1 point. The competition is on a penalty basis and the winner of the competition will have the lowest total penalty points. In the case of a tie, the winner will be the competitor with the best cross country score. If there is still a tie, the winner will be one whose cross country times was the closest to the optimum time. If still equal, the dressage mark will decide who is placed higher. This principle applies to tied place getters and teams. 12. TEAMS A team shall consist of four riders taken from the 4 best scores from each club/zone with the three best scores to count. (Three riders constitute a competition; competitions with less than three riders remain unofficial and do not count towards team placings in an event). A team of three (constitutes a competition) is acceptable and may beat a team of four riders. A team with less than 3 riders remaining in the competition cannot be placed at all. Riders under 26 years may make up state/zone/club teams. Where there are less than six (6) riders in a competition only first overall placegetter is eligible for the State &/or Zone Team. (Oct.12). Riders in all groups will be included in the State and Zone Teams. Refer to scoring handbook for more detailed method of scoring for teams in each discipline. In the case of equality: the rider with the higher grading will form the team. If there is an equality of points within the same grade or age group: Dressage: the rider with the highest average will form the team and if the scores are still equal, the rider with the highest score in the highest test will form the team. Combined Training: the rider with the highest dressage score will form the team and if still equal, the rider with the optimum time in the jumping will determine who forms the team. Horse Trials: the rider with the highest average will form the team and if the scores are still equal, the rider with the highest dressage score will form the team.
