Scoring of Jumper Classes To encourage the development of competitor skills and safe jumping, touches will count in classes 71 through 77. Course 1 & 3 for all divisions 2 3 and up, All Itty-Bitty Classes Table II, Sec. 2 (b) 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 a competitor has gone clear in the first round, the competitor will, without leaving the ring, upon an audible signal, commence the designated jumpoff course. A competitor with a clear round may dismount, and with assistance if necessary, adjust tack and/or equipment; however, upon the audible signal to begin his/her round, the competitor is responsible to adhering to the 45 seconds rule as per JP136.3. A competitor who leaves the arena after a clear round (before or after the tone) will be considered to have withdrawn from the jump-off. If there are no clear rounds and a tie exists for first place, the results will be determined by the scores and time from that round Course 2 for all divisions 2 3 and Up Table IV Sec. 2 (c) The first round and first jump-off are decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed if any [Note: The use of a time allowed is optional in the initial round.]. If a competitor has gone clear in the first round, he will, upon crossing the finish line, commence the designated jump-off, with time starting as the horse crosses the finish line for the initial course. In the case of equality of faults in the jump-off, 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. If there are no clear rounds, a jump -off, scored as described above, will take place among those tied for first place. BOD 11/13/17 Effective 12/1/17 FAULTS FOR THE FOLLOWING 1. Classes 71 though 77 Audible rap of the rail - 2 faults 2. Knockdown of obstacle or standard with any portion of horse, rider, or equipment, when jumping - 4 faults 3. Knockdown of timing equipment, start and finish lines, or flags 4 faults 4.
