To
help you better understand how to handle this class at your rallies, the
Show Jumping Committee offers this explanation:
|
-In
this competition the obstacles are to be jumped only once in the order
chosen by the competitor. Any competitor who does not jump all the obstacles is eliminated.
Combination obstacles are not allowed.
|
-Competitors may cross the
starting line and finishing line in either direction. These lines are to
be provided with four flags; a red and a white flag at each end of the
lines. Obstacles may be
jumped in either direction, unless otherwise directed on the course plan.
The jumps may or may not be flagged but if they are, they must have 4 flags, indicating the jump may
be jumped in either direction. There are not to
be any numbers.
|
-This competition is to take place without a pre-determined speed.
There is no "time allowed" set for
the round, there is a "time limit" of 120 seconds.
If the competitor does not complete the course within the time limit he/she is to be eliminated.
|
-If there is a refusal or run-out
with a knock-down or displacement of the obstacle, the competitor may
only restart his round when the obstacle knocked down or displaced has
been replaced and when the
Judge gives him the signal to start.
He may then jump the obstacle of his choice. In this case 4 seconds for time correction will be added to the time of the round.

Scoring
|
-TYOL rounds are to be judged and scored the same as all other rounds,
i.e. all knockdowns, refusals
and other disobediences are to be scored according to the table of
penalties. The time taken
is to be recorded.
The clear rounds are to be "ranked" according to time taken,
fastest being first. Bonus points in this round are to be awarded in the same manner as the Jump
Off round (Art. 50A.5), i.e. the first ten rounds (by time elapsed) are to be given bonus points.
The remaining clear rounds .3 bonus points are to be added to their scores.
Rounds with jump penalties are not to be included in the
bonus scoring. disobediences
are to be scored as the table of faults indicates.
All clear rounds are to count toward the total clear round "prize" given at
championships and regional rallies where recognized. In the
case of a team with 4 riders receiving bonus points, all 4 count.
Only riders earning bonus points are to receive bonus points; there are no ghost
scores.
