Equal placings will be separated for each dressage test. See Handbook of Bylaws - Rule 38.2.a The higher total collective marks will decide the higher placing If these marks are equal, the placing remains tied. Points System The number of riders starting in the first class will determine the point allocations for the subsequent classes The winner of each class will be awarded points equal to the number of riders in the first class plus 1 point. E.g. 22 starters + I = 23 points o E.g. if 22 riders start in the first class, the scoring system for the subsequent classes are based on 22 riders. If only 20 riders start the second class the scoring system remains at 22. o 1st place = 23 points (22+1)/ 2nd place = 21 points (22-1) /3rd place = 20 points /22nd place = 1 point Every rider that completes a class will score points according to their placing in the field. If a rider is eliminated in a class they will not be awarded points for that class. However, they are eligible to score points in the other classes. These individual rider points for each class are added together progressively throughout the day to determine the overall individual award. The rider with the highest points is the winner. If the Scores are tied, equals will be separated using the best result in the nominated class. In 2019 this will be Class 2. 3 Midland Zone Dressage& SJ Team Championships 8 th & 9 th Dec 2018

If only 20 teams start the second class the scoring system remains at 22. In order to be eligible for a team placing, at least three members of the Team must complete each scheduled class without elimination. The number of riders starting in the first class will determine the point allocations for the subsequent classes. Team Riders placings for the shield will be determined as per individual placing from team riders in each grade/class. At least three Team Members must complete in a Class for the Team to post a score in that class. Points obtained by the scores of each team member being totalled and the top 3 scores will be the team overall score In the case of equality of points for the final placing, the higher placed team is the one whose lowest classified competitor of the three has the best result in the nominated class.
