Following are
the criteria under which classes in the 2003 Show
Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series are
to be held.
1. Series
standings will be kept in two Conferences: East
and West. The East and West champion will be
named based on points accrued in Series events.
The final East Conference event will be at the
Pennsylvania National Horse Show and the final
West Conference event will be at the Los Angeles
National Horse Show.
2. Events
may choose whether to host separate classes
for amateur-owners and juniors or combined junior/amateur-owner
classes. Either way, entries will receive points
for their appropriate division only. For combined
classes, entries will receive points for the
place in which they finish overall, not just
among those in their division (eg: if an amateur-owner
rider wins and a junior finishes second, the
junior will receive second place points).
3. The
Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series
will hold year-end Championship Finals for juniors
and amateur-owners at the National Horse Show.
Furthermore,
the National Horse Show will use the Show Jumping
Hall of Fame Series standings to select its
entries for the amateur/owner and junior divisions.
4. Only
running martingales, used in the conventional
manner, will be permitted. Standing martingales,
draw reins, or restricting martingales are prohibited.
This must be
printed in the prize list.
5. Whether
or not stabling is provided, all competing horses
must be on the grounds a minimum of three (3)
hours prior to the scheduled start of the class
and must remain on the grounds until they are
done competing.
6. The
course must include one double and one triple
combination (or three doubles).
7. Horses
competing in the Grand Prix and/or classes that
count toward the USET computer rankings of a
horse show hosting a Show Jumping Hall of Fame
Series class should not compete in the Show
Jumping Hall of Fame Series class at that horse
show. Horses
that do so will not receive points from the
Series class in question.
8. Horse
shows in the Series that restrict entries will
be asked to allow riders with more than one
horse in contention for the Series Championship
to ride two horses in the class.
9. It
is preferred that prize money be distributed
to 12 places and be distributed as follows:
30% for 1st, 22% for 2nd,
13% for 3rd, 8% for 4th,
6% for 5th, 5% for 6th,
4% for 7th, 3% for 8th
and 9th, 2% for 10th,
11th and 12th place.
10.If
a qualifying class is held, both classes must
be run under the same schooling and equipment
rules.
11.Member
events will be required to make a tax-deductible
contribution to the Show Jumping Hall of Fame
(a 501(c)3 charity) of $15 per entry. This donation
is to be mailed to the Show Jumping Hall of
Fame, c/o Classic Communications, 38 Mechanic
St., Ste. 101, Foxboro, MA 02035, within two
weeks after your class is held.
12.Member
events may host only one (1) Show Jumping Hall
of Fame Series class per division per show,
and the Show Jumping Hall of Fame class must
be the featured amateur-owner class, junior
class, or junior/amateur-owner class at the
horse show.
13.**In
order to award full points, a class in the Series
must offer prize money of at least $5,000. Series
events may offer a class with prize money as
low as $1,000; however, the points awarded in
any class will be prorated based upon the amount
of prize money offered (ie: 100 total points
will be awarded for $1,000-$1,999 in prize money
offered, 200 points for $2,000-$2,999, and so
on with a maximum of 500 points awarded in each
class offering $5,000 or above).
14.**The
breakdown for awarding Series points for each
individual class is as follows for each $1,000
(or part of $1,000) of prize money awarded:
Placing |

1 |

Points
will be awarded only to the number of places
pinned. Should a class pin less than the 12
places requested in item 9, then the points
allocated for the positions not pinned will
not be awarded.
15.So
that all riders have an equal and fair chance
to qualify for year-end awards, horse show prize
lists must designate that a class is a member
event of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper
Classic Series. A notice must be printed in
the prize list that people may check current
standings and schedules for the Show Jumping
Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series at www.showjumpinghalloffame.net
or at www.Ryegate.com.
16.Within
24 hours after completion of a Hall of Fame

- The
entry list for the Series class(es)
- Full
results for the class, designating which riders
are juniors and which are amateur-owners and
including riders’ hometowns
- The
judge’s card for the class
We
will then compute Series standings and distribute
them to the media and post them on the Show
Jumping Hall of Fame website.
17.You
must refer to Series classes by their full name,
including any sponsor designations, in all press
releases. Copies of releases should be forwarded
