Short Go Qualification Rules

To qualify for the Come and Take It Championship Round:
  • A horse/rider combination must be in the top 15 fastest times in each D in either the first or second qualifying rounds.
  • From round 1: the top 15 fastest times in each D qualify for the short go.
  • From round 2: the top 15 fastest times in each D qualify for the short go.
  • If one of the horse/rider combinations in the top 15 were already qualified from round one, then that combination cannot qualify again in round 2.
  • We will drop the duplicate qualifying combination from the round 2 qualifiers, and the next fastest combination in that D will fill the position. This will continue until all 15 qualifying positions in round two are filled OR until there are no more contestants in the corresponding D to fill the qualifying positions – whichever comes first.
  • If there is a tie for the fastest time in the top 15, all ties will qualify for the short go up until the fastest 15 times. Should 15th place have one or more ties, all qualifying ties in 15th place will advance to the short go.
  • If there are not 30 horse/rider combinations from each qualifying round (15 from round 1 and 15 from round 2), we will not fill the remaining positions.
  • A contestant can also qualify for the short go through the Youth/Adult/Senior sidepots. We will take 1 from each D from each round from each of these sidepots. You will qualify through the Open first, then through the sidepots.
