We score points by counting only the top six places. Placing in 1st is worth 6 points, 2nd place is 5 points, etc. and 6th place is worth 1 point. If you place below 6th but are not eliminated, you will get 0 points but this can count towards being qualified (see below). There may be temporary ties throughout the show season, but there will be no ties at the end. All potential ties will be broken by taking an average of all final scores in the series.

In order to qualify for year-end awards, you must complete at least two shows (eliminations or scratches do not count). Showing on two different days (ex. Saturday and Sunday) at the same facility counts as two different shows. Points are awarded by horse/rider/division combinations. You must compete in at least two shows with the same horse in the same division to be qualified. If you have competed in two shows but have not received any points (ex. getting 7th in one show and 10th in another), you will not be qualified.

Most of the leaderboard spreadsheet is pretty self-explanatory, although some parts may get a little confusing. The very first column contains any notes about scoring or membership. These are usually represented by symbols (* or ?) and you do not need to worry about this because it means we are actively working on it. You will see "Need payment" or "Need form" or we will contact you directly if we are missing any information from you.

Numbers below the dates of shows represent points, not placings. Columns are color-coded by show facility. The columns labeled "multiple entries" is only used if the horse/rider/division combination has multiple entries on the same day. These points are still awarded but because of technical issues they need to be in these separate columns. This does not count as another show, but does count for more points.
