- .80m riders may not have jumped higher than .95m in the current show season.
- 1.0m riders may not have jumped higher than 1.10m in the current show season.
- EXCEPTION: There is no fence height restriction for professionals. However, scores for professionals will only be counted toward team points.
SCORING
- Riders will earn points based on their individual placing in each round through sixth as follows: 7-5-4-3-2-1.
- Individual Championships: The rider with the highest cumulative score at each fence height will be placed first (and so on) through sixth. In cas of a tie, the third round results will serve as the tie-breaker.
- Riders who are eliminated in one round are eligible to continue in the following round(s) provided there is not a medical or safety concern, which will be decided by the Steward and the Competition Manager, in consultation with the Jumper Judge as appropriate.
- Team Championships: The cumulative total of each team member’s score from each fence height will be combined to determine a team total. In case of a tie, the total scores from the 1.0m riders will be used. If those scores are the same, then the total scores from the .80m riders will be used (and so on). The team with the highest cumulative score will be named champion and teams will be placed through third.
- USEF Rules will be followed.
FORMATION OF TEAMS
Entry into the LEGIS League Jumper Championships at PSJ must be made by the start of the Rider Meeting on Friday. During the Rider Meeting, teams will be drawn. Teams will be made up of one rider from each fence height, and no more than one professional may ride on a team.
Process
- If there are an unequal number of entered riders per fence height, the number of teams will be determined by the height section with the fewest riders. Example: If there are 10 .60m riders, 12 .80m riders, and 8 1.0m riders, there will be eight teams.
- Riders who have competed at PSJ shows during 2026 will be given preference.
- If there are professionals entered in sections with larger entry numbers, the professionals will not be eligible for a team position.
- If the number of eligible riders for a team are still unequal, the Show Manager will ask if any riders wish to compete only as individuals. After that, preference will be given to riders based on date of entry, with early dates given preference.
- Once all eligible riders for each fence height are determined, if there are professionals they will be drawn first and placed in a team slot at the designated fence height. .60m riders will be drawn and placed on a team first, followed by .80m and 1.0m riders.
- Teams will meet and designate a team captain, a team coach (aka Chef d’Equipe), and a team name.
- Teams are encouraged to determine a team color, whether it is a shirt, saddle pad, or some other identifying item to wear during Saturday’s competition.
UESF Rules will be in effect. In case of a dispute or clarifying question, the Show Manager, Jumper Judge, and Steward will make the final determination which will be binding. Any judging issues occurring in the competition arena are entirely within the purview of the Jumper Judge.
