How Teams are selected from Carlow Hunt Pony Club for Qualifiers:
Show jumping
- CHPC will run 3 show jumping trials, not necessarily at the same venue, both rider and pony have to compete in at least 1 trial to be eligible for team selection.
- If a rider chooses to compete in all 3 qualifiers, the best 2 results from the 3 qualifiers will be counted for ranking and team selection.
- The trial competitions will be run as a two phase competition (with a time allowed), those who have a double clear will be invited back in for a jump-off round. (If time allows, those who did not have a double clear may be allowed back in to jump a third round but this will not be for a placing).
- Points will be allocated as follows: Attendance – 3 points, Clear first phase – 5 points, Clear second phase – 4 points. Additional points will be allocated as follows: 20 points for 1st place, 18 points for 2nd place, 16 points for 3rd place, 14 points for 4th place, 12 points for 5th place, 10 points for 6th place, 8 points for 7th place, and 6 points for 8th place. In the event that less than 8 competitors get into the jump off, the remaining places will be decided by the fastest time of the second rounds from those who were clear in the first round.
- Riders will be ranked at the end of the 3 trials and ordered into descending teams of 4 down the league table. The last team may be made up of 3 riders should no more competitors be on the table. Otherwise remaining riders will be reserves.
- For the remaining lower places where we have a number of competitors on equal points after using the “Golden Goal Rule” a draw will take place to fill the teams.
- If a rider is riding 2 ponies, their first pony jumped will be deemed as the nominated pony for the qualifiers.
- The Ground Committee on the day will make all decisions and their decision is final.
- An appeal must be lodged in writing with a €25 refundable deposit (if appeal upheld) within 30 minutes of the final result declared.
- Once team selection is made, parents must confirm with the event co-ordinator via text message, that they are available to attend the area qualifier and championship competition.
- The chef d’equip of the team will decide at the regional qualifier and championship which two riders will compete in the jump off if required to do so.
In the event of riders not being able to compete or their pony gets injured the following rules will apply:
- If the rider/pony drop out before the area qualifier commences, all competitors move up a place and if the rider has an alternative pony they move down.
- If the rider/pony drops out from a qualified team after the area qualifier but before the entries are made to the IPC, then all competitors move up a place, (Where more than 1 CHPC team qualifies for the festival, the teams are ranked in accordance with their placing at the regional qualifier) and if the rider has an alternative pony they move down.
- If the rider/pony drops out after entries are made to the festival, the teams are locked and the highest ranked competitor from the CHPC trials who jumped at the qualifier gets called up onto the team impacted.
