  AWARDING OF POINTS 

Points will be awarded under Local Rules provided that a clear round has been jumped in the first round with the exception of Single Phase Competitions when a clear round in either section will qualify.

 

Points will be awarded in single round competitions against the clock, with or without a clear round, in accordance with placings and number of starters. Accumulator, Topscore and competitions run under Table A4 and Table C are included in this category.

 

For all National classes points will only be awarded when a double clear round is jumped.

 

Points are not awarded for Trailblazers and Heights Jumping nor for 'Fun Classes' e.g. Ride and Run, Baton Relay.

 

 

 

Jersey Double Accumulator

 

  1. This competition takes place over two rounds.

 2.   The first round is judged under Rule 274, not against the clock.

 

  1. The order of starting for the second round must be drawn. All competitors other than those who have Retired or been Eliminated must be allowed to start in the second round.

 

  1. The second round is judged under Rule 274 against the clock, except that instead of scoring points for obstacles cleared, the competitor is penalised for obstacles knocked down as follows:-

 

No. 1 obstacle knocked down………………..10 penalty points

No. 2 obstacle knocked down……………….…9 penalty points

and so on to No. 10 obstacle knocked down.….1 penalty point

 

  (If the course comprises 8 or 6 obstacles only, the penalty points for No. 1

  obstacle are 8 or 6 and for successive obstacles pro rata).

 

  1. The competitor's final score for the two rounds is determined by subtracting from his score for the first round his total penalty points awarded under Rule JDA4 (above) and his total faults and time faults awarded under Rule 274. In the event of equality of scores for any place, time over the second round decides. In the event of equality of scores and time, competitors will be placed equal and divide the prize money.

 

 

Prize money for sponsored classes will continue to be awarded as previously, but will not count for grading purposes.

 

LOCAL JUMPING RULES

Amend Rules 73, 74 and 75 to read "Except for BSJA (UK) Qualifiers, all Affiliation Fees and Schedules etc will be sent to BSJA Jersey Branch"

HELPING AT EVENTS

Any local member who competes at a BSJA Jersey event is obliged to be prepared to help in some way with that or, if all jobs are filled, some future event. Help can be offered either in person or by naming a valid helper.

For each event that a member competes in, it is a condition of entry, including late entries, that both a helper and a time and day for helping are included on the entry form. The event organisers reserve the right to return or refuse any entries that do not meet with these requirements.

 

SHOW JUMPER OF THE YEAR QUALIFICATION

Horses and ponies must be registered in the Channel Islands at the time the clear rounds are jumped and riders may be asked to provide evidence of clear rounds jumped outside Jersey.

Qualifying horses and ponies which upgrade will jump in the grade in which their last double clear round was achieved.

 

GRADING OF IMPORTED HORSES

All horses and ponies being imported to the Island of Jersey will carry their BSJA UK and BSJA Guernsey current winnings when registering for grading. These winnings will be converted to points for the purpose of Jersey.

The table for Rule 64.1 regarding grading of horses imported from abroad is amended as follows:-

                    AGE                      WINNINGS         AGE            WINNINGS

            8 Years and over            100 points

AMENDMENT TO NON-PLACING RULE

 A Non-Placing Entry allows for competitors to enter horses or ponies in classes lower than the grade of the horse and be eligible to take part in the jump-off. Competitors will not be placed nor awarded points or prize monies in respect of these entries.

 Subsequent competitive entries for the horse/rider combination ARE NOT allowed on that day.

 

Trailblazers and Heights Jumping

(BSJA Jersey Local Rule)

 

In the case of elimination, a competitor may opt to restart the course without leaving the arena. This will incur an additional entry fee but will not be judged as having jumped hors concours.

 

Other competitors with faults may ask the Judge (via the Collecting ring Steward) to jump again at the end of the class. This will also incur an additional entry fee and the horse will not be judged as having jumped hors concours.

 

Non-Placing entries do not apply to these classes.
