Champs Qualifying Ratings

Cimarron Note:  2011 USPC Championships is coming up this summer!!  And with the alternate ratings system now in place, the question has come up, what rating do you have to be to qualify for Champs?  Below is a rundown from Erin Woodall, Activities Assistant. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the breakdown of Disciplines and what their Qualification Criteria
for Championships is based on.

Dressage-based on highest Flat rating
Eventing-based on highest Classic rating
Games-based on highest Flat rating
Polocrosse-based on highest Flat rating
Quiz-based on highest HM rating
Show Jumping-based on highest Classic rating
Tetrathlon-based on highest Classic rating

As for your question about D rally, since D’s are not allowed to Qualify for
Eventing Championships (except as Stable Managers) there are no National
Guidelines about D Rally participation and therefore it is up to the
Regional Supervisor and Organizer of the D Rally to make those decisions.
We of course would hope that the rally would be open to anyone who is
interested.  Please let me know if this doesn’t cover your questions.

Sincerely,

Erin Woodall
