Welcome to the 2020 Equestrian Victoria Senior Interschool State Championships
Thank you to all riders, supporters and sponsors of the 2019 State Championships and our team of riders that
attended the Australian Interschool Championships. Victoria became the first non-home state to win the Champion
State Team trophy at the Australian Championships, this was an amazing achievement and every rider on the team
played a part in the Team success. This also resulted in the Victorian Interschool team being selected as the Young
Team of the Year at the 2019 Victorian Sport Awards, the first time equestrian reached the final of these prestigious
award.
COVID-19 has disrupted us all in a way we could never have imagined, and following several postponements of the
event this year our final option is try to offer an event for the riders who will be finishing school this year and have
also missed many of their final year of school celebrations. We know all our other year riders will be disappointed
not to attend this event but you have more years to come in interschool and we will look forward to seeing you in
April 2021.
The 2020 schedule has some changes including:
• This event will be conducted under the current COVID-19 regulation and EV return to Equestrian
competition requirements. At the time of preparing the schedule we have incorporated the restrictions as
best we could understand/predict and we may need to modify competition requirements
• Please read EQUESTRIAN VICTORIA COVIDSAFE PROTOCOLS & REGULATIONS, do not enter if you do not
agree to these conditions
• Due to the uncertainty in COVID-19 restrictions and the desire to ensure school leavers can experience
their final Interschool event we have modified the schedule to provide a competition for Year 12 and 11
riders only. All Year 12 and 11 riders are welcome to enter and if insufficient entries are received, late
entries may be offered to Year 10
• There will need to be a limit on class sizes and balloting may be required, priority will be given to:
• Year 12 and 11 riders that have a participation qualification as per conditions of entry
• Year 12 without a participation qualification
• Year 11 without a participation qualification
• If insufficient entries are received, late entries may be offered to Year 10
• Only 1 person may attend the event with each competitor, there will be no spectators.

point.
• Stabling and camping bookings will be need to made direct with WPNEC. All bookings will need to comply

• Volunteers are crucial to run this event, we still need you so please consider if you can help

can be obtained from the website https://www.equestrian.org.au/Eventing-Dressage-tests
• From the 1st Jan 2020 you cannot compete in CT or Eventing if your helmet is not tagged to confirm
compliance with standards see here https://www.vic.equestrian.org.au/helmet-tagging There will be
opportunity to have your helmet tagged at the event and at other locations prior to the event.
• Riders are only permitted to compete in one class per horse. The same horse and rider combination must
complete both phases of the competition. Elimination from one phase involves elimination from the
competition.
• Each class will be limited to a maximum of 32 riders.
• Eventing riders cannot enter combined training at a level lower than they are currently eventing at. Jumping
riders should ride at the equivalent height eg, secondary riders jumping 75 cm should enter 80 cm CT not 60
cm.
• No whip is allowed in the dressage phase, however whips of no more than 75cm are allowed in the
jumping phase.
Scoring System
• As combined training runs under Eventing rules, riders are placed based on the number of penalties they
incur over the 2 phases. This means that the rider with the least penalties when penalties from the
dressage and jumping phases are added will be the winner. The result is always rounded to one decimal
point. Jumping penalties are calculated in the normal manner as per Jumping.
• In the case of equal scores for placings in a class, the rider with the best dressage score (least penalties) will
be the higher placed. If equality still exists, the closest to the optimum time (under the time set) in the
jumping element will be the higher placed. If there is still a tie, then the placings will be shared and the
subsequent place not awarded.

Phase 1 ‐One Round Table A Article 238.2.1
Athletes with equality of penalties for any place are placed in accordance with the time taken to complete the
round. In the event of equality of penalties and time for first place, there may be a jump‐off over a shortened
course over obstacles, which may be increased in height and/or spread in accordance with the provisions of the
schedule. Please note- this is only if faults and times are exactly the same so is very rare that this second round
jump off is ever run.
Phase 2 ‐ Two‐Phase Article 274 5.3
This competition comprises two phases run without interruption, each at an identical or different speed, the
finishing line for the first phase being identical with the starting line for the second phase.
The first phase is a course of 7 to 9 obstacles with or without combinations (Table A against the clock). The
second phase takes place over 4 to 6 obstacles, which may include one combination (Table A against the
clock).
Athletes penalized in the first phase are halted by ringing the bell after they have jumped the last obstacle or
when the time allowed for the first phase has been exceeded, after crossing the finishing line of the first
phase. They must stop after crossing the first finishing line. Placing is according to the penalties and time in
the second phase and, if necessary, to the penalties and time in the first phase. Athletes stopped after the
first phase may only be placed after athletes who have taken part in both phases. In the event of equality for
first place, the tied athletes will be placed equal first.
