The following rules will apply to qualify for the High Point Year End Awards:
- Points shall be calculated by awarding the 1st place horse with points
equal to the number of qualified entries in the class. Second place will receive
points equal to the number of qualified entries in the class minus 1. Third
place will receive points equal to the number of qualified entries in the class
minus 2 and so on.
- Qualified entries are those riders that receive a score. Those rides that
receive a score of "0" are still counted as a qualified entry.
Those entries that are a SCRATCH or are disqualified and therefore receive
no score are not qualified entries.
- "0" scores are not eligible to receive points.
- In the case of a tied placing, all entries at that placing shall be awarded
the highest number of points eligible at that place. The 1st entry following
the tie shall receive points equal to their point in the count of entries.
Example: The count of entries is 10. The 1st place horse receives 10 points,
2nd place receives 9 points, 3 horses tie for 3rd place and each receive 8
points. The next horse would be considered to be in 6th place and would receive
5 points.
- In the case where a WRHA class is run concurrent with its NRHA counterpart,
the points for each class are calculated separately. When the two counterpart
classes are to be combined for one Year End High Point Award, the points will
then be added together to determine the placing's for Year End High Point purposes
only.
- BOTH the rider and the horse owner must be currently WRHA members in good
standing.
- There is no additional cost to compete for Year End High Point awards outside
the annual WRHA membership dues.
- Points will begin to accumulate from the time membership is paid. They are
not retroactive to include a WRHA show which exhibitor participated in prior
to becoming a WRHA member.
- A "one horse, one rider" principal shall apply. A member may
qualify on multiple horses or a horse may have more than one rider but each
team of horse and rider must meet all the rules to be eligible to receive
a Year End High Point award. Substitution of either the horse or rider would
be considered the formation of a new horse/rider team and be counted with
separate points if all other criteria is met.
- Year End High Point prizes shall be awarded down to 3rd place in each of
the class divisions listed above.
- All classes offered for each class division above, at all WRHA shows held during the calendar year, shall be used to calculate Year End High Point awards.
Thanks,
WRHA
