Jumper Division Class Specifications
Table IV Sec. 1
Classes are scored on Faults under Table II, however, all ties are broken on the basis of Optimum Time. Optimum Time in First
Round (Table IV Sec. 1)—The first round is decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for
exceeding the Time Allowed. In the case of equality of faults, ties will be broken on the following basis: an “Optimum
Time” (defined as 4 seconds less than the Time Allowed for the course) will be posted on the course plan; the horse with the time on
course closest to this Optimum Time (over or under) will prevail in the tie, next closest next, etc.
Table II, Sec. 2 (b)
The first round and first jump-off, if any, are decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for
exceeding the Time Allowed. If a competitor has gone clean in the first round, the competitor will, without leaving the ring, upon an
audible signal, commence the designated jump-off course. A competitor with a clear round may dismount, and with assistance if
necessary, adjust tack and/or equipment; however, upon the audible signal to begin his/her round, the competitor is responsible to
adhering to the 45 seconds rule as per JP134.3. A competitor who leaves the arena after a clear round (before or after the tone) will
be considered to have retired from the jump-off. If there are no clean rounds and a tie exists for first place, there will be one jumpoff in which time will decide in the event of equality of faults.
Table II, Sec 2(c)
Two Phase Competitions - The first phase to consist of 8 to 10 jumping efforts and the second phase (immediate jump-off) of 5 to 7
jumping efforts. Scores are decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time
Allowed if any. If a competitor has gone clean in the first round, he will, upon crossing the finish line, commence the designated
jump-off course. Time starts as the horse crosses the finish line for the initial course. If there are no clean rounds and a tie exists for
first place, there will be one jump-off, in which time will decide in the event of equality of faults. The use of a Time Allowed is optional in the first round.
