Official requirements – minimum of 1 Associate Judge and 1 Assistant Course Builder

Basic timing equipment required no countdown timer or display clock/board required.

There are two types of classes which competitors can gain Regional League Points:

Option 1: NB. At Club Competitions the first round or first phase of the competitions, time faults will not be allocated instead there will be a time limit of 2 minutes competitors who exceed this will incur elimination.

A7 (amended, first round not timed, where there are insufficient clears to fulfil placings, lower placing will be decided by first round faults, equal faults will share placing and points will be equally awarded not split)

Single Phase ,Two Phase

In these classes points will be allocated as follows:
1^st – 12 points, 2^nd- 10 points, 3^rd – 8 points, 4^th – 6 points, 5^th – 4 points, 6^th – 3 points. 3 points will be allocated to all those who achieve double clear; those who are placed will receive an additional 3 points if they have had a double clear.

These classes will run at 70cm, 80cm, 90cm and 1.00m.

Option 2: In an attempt to encourage these competitors to achieve clear rounds and aid their development the second type of class is a Double Clear Class. In these classes the time limit is applied however there is no section against the clock. The aim of this class is to achieve a double clear, those who do will be joint 1^st and will all receive 6 points.

These classes will also be run at 70cm, 80cm, 90cm and 1.00m.

It is at the discretion of the show as to which of these competitions they choose to run.

Heights in “Jump –Off”/ Second phases can be a maximum of 5cm higher than the first round.

Knock down – 4 faults, First refusal – 4 faults, Second refusal (anywhere on the course) – 4 faults

Third refusal (anywhere on the course) – Elimination, Fall (anywhere on the course) – Elimination
All other faults as per British Showjumping rule book.

Same as National Rules, however we are asking officials to apply these rules more leniently for these members who are new to British Showjumping. These members will be made aware of the dress expected of them however where there are breeches of these regulations we ask that you allow the individual to compete but make them aware of what is expected in future. Exceptions to National Rules – Spurs may not exceed 2cm for any Club Rider. All those on ponies are allowed to wear half chaps/ gaiters.

Same as National; Rule 102 - All those on Ponies – no Market Harborough, combination bits, Hackamores or Bitless Bridle
