Brief overview of classes:
Article 238.2.1 –One Round Stakes – fastest clear round wins
Article 238.2.2 – This is a competition not against the clock, but in the event of equality of penalties for first place, there will be a jump off against the clock. All riders who jump clear in the first round will be invited back to compete in the jump off at a raised height (approx. 5cm).
4 Bar (Article 262.3.2.1) – Course will consist of 4 vertical jumps in a row, approximately 11m apart. The jumps will increase in height progressively with the first jump being a pole on the ground. Any riders who jump clear will continue on to the next round where all jumps will be raised. This continues until only 1 rider is left.
Rescue Relay (Article 268.2.4) For this event there are a team of two riders on the course at the same time. The first rider starts their round and continues until they either have a fault (refusal or rail down), finish their round or the judge rings the bell. If a rider has a fault – rail down, the other rider takes over the round starting with the jump after the jump knocked down. If a rider has a refusal the other rider takes over the course at the jump refused (if it was knocked down during the refusal they must wait until it is put up again). If the first rider completes the round with no faults and the bell has not been rung the second rider takes over from jump No 1 and continues on. Swapping of riders when faults occur continues the same as above until the bell rings to finish the round. If the second rider is the one to finish the first round (i.e. the first rider had a fault) they continue on from the last jump to the first jump again. When the judge rings the bell your round is finished and you should jump the next jump in order. Then both riders must cross the finish line. The winning pair is the one which gets furthest along the course in the time allowed.
