We're into Summer Regional Championships - good luck to all who've qualified! Please see below important information and details of how many will qualify from each section. We'd love to see posts and tweets from your Regionals experience so make sure you share them with us!
Please note:
1) Combinations scoring below 65% will not be eligible for qualification for the LeMieux National Dressage Championships as stated in the British Dressage Rule Book, UNLESS IT IS BY A WILD CARD.
2) The number qualifying from each Summer Regional class will depend on the number of starters in that particular class according to the conversion charts. The number of qualifications per level varies according to the total number of horses qualified for the Regionals and the number of spaces available at the LeMieux National Dressage Championships.
3) A ‘starter’ is a horse that actually enters the competition arena and goes down the centre line, even if it withdraws before finishing.
4) The number of starters will not be known until the class is finished after which the organiser will calculate how many have qualified and mark them on the scoreboard. The number of direct qualifications will be announced at the prize giving. Everyone who has qualified MUST collect a qualification pack from the secretary before leaving the showground.
NB: Entries for the LeMieux National Dressage Championships close on Tuesday 23 August 2016. No late entries will be accepted.
5) The last Summer Regional finishes on Sunday 14 August and on this week the BD Office will calculate how many unfilled spaces there are in each class at the LeMieux National Dressage Championships. THESE SPACES WILL BE FILLED BY THE HIGHEST SCORING UNQUALIFIED COMBINATIONS FROM ALL THE REGIONALS, WHO WILL BE NOTIFIED BY THE OFFICE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A WILD CARD.
6) Entry packs will be sent from the BD Office no later than Friday 19 August to the registered owner of the horse. The entries should be sent immediately to the show secretary to arrive no later than Tuesday 23 August 2016. You may wish to use next day delivery to ensure receipt by deadline.
7) The names of the combinations awarded wild cards will be put on the BD website on Friday 19 August. Please do not telephone the BD Office regarding wild card allocation before 2pm on this day.
