SCORING

**  Each course has been assigned a certain amount of points.  Any faults or incorrectly completing an obstacle will result in points being deducted from that original score.

**  Each course has a maximum time limit allowed to complete the course.  At the end of this time limit, you will be stopped and instructed to leave the course with points being deducted for any obstacles you did not complete.  So if your having a lot of trouble with a particular obstacle, it’s best to go on to the next one and not use up all your time on that one.

**  There is also a “run-out” time for the Open course.  We have set the course time limit based on a steady, controlled ride through the course.  The “run-out” time is a time that can only be accomplished by charging recklessly through the course at top speed without any regard to safety or control.  Anyone who posts a time less than this “run-out” time will receive an additional 50 point deduction on their score.

**  A total course time will be kept for each entry but only used in the case of a tie in the points.

**  If a rider dismounts during the course, in any division, they will be disqualified.

**  The Youth division course must be done at a walk only.  Points will be deducted for going any faster.

**  The Novice/Amateur Division course must be done at a walk and trot.  Points will be deducted for going any faster.

**  The Open division course can be done at the rider’s discretion.  But keep in mind that safety is the highest priority and faster speeds will likely cause more faults, thus reducing points.
