Programme : Jumping Competition

There are two sets of medals to compete for; the team and individual. Unlike the Dressage, the scores for each round are carried over into the next.

Wednesday (26^th) is the first Jumping competition for teams and individuals. All competitors complete one round against the clock. The time taken to complete the course plus 4 seconds for every fault is multiplied by 0.5 and rounded up or down to the second decimal place to give the points for each rider. The competitor with the lowest points after this conversion is given 0 penalties, and every other competitor is given penalties totalling the difference between their points and the lowest competitor’s points. The lowest three penalties in each team are counted for the team result (the highest fourth is dropped.)

The team final and second individual competition takes place on Friday afternoon (28^th). Because scores roll over, only those who have competed in the first competition can take part. This takes place over two rounds, not against the clock with a time allowed. Riders will compete in reverse order of the first competition results and the teams on the medals podium will be those who have the lowest combined penalties from their best three riders in the first competition and each round of the second competition. Team medals will be presented at the end of this performance.

The final day of the Championships is Sunday 30^th August and the Individual Jumping final. Only the top 25 competitors per the combined scores from all previous rounds compete. The Individual final consists of two rounds, not against the clock but with a time allowed. The overall and individual winner is the competitor with the lowest combined penalties from all Championship classes. A jump-off will be used if there is equality of penalties. Individual medals will be presented at the end of the performance.
