NATIONALS AUCTION What have YOU got on the Table? We are challenging all vaulters and clubs to participate in bringing items for the auction event. Use your creativity in items and in bundling them together. If you get a dinner donated, try to find a bottle of wine. Or if you get a dog grooming donated get some doggie treats. Please all donations $50 value and up to count as an item. Hold a challenge within your club as well. Know someone who crochets? Have them make a blanket. Offer a service…braid a horse, parent’s night out at Nationals, etc. Don’t forget the old standbys of gift cards but maybe someone has tickets to an event or a week at their condo. Again, be creative and we can’t wait to see what you bring to the table!! This auction will take place Saturday, August 10 at National Equestrian Center. All proceeds to help with the cost of Nation- als. Turn in items to the Show Office upon arrival. Questions? Contact Robin Bowman, director at [email protected].

PRIZE LIST 13 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS CRITERIA AVA/USEF National Championship Qualifying Standards GOAL • To develop a qualifying standard for determining eligibility to participate in AVA/USEF Nationals Competition. RATINGS/SCORE STANDARD • Gold - 7.0 • Silver - 6.0 • Bronze - 5.5 • Copper - 5.0 • Trot - 5.0 WHAT SCORES COUNT • Scores may be obtained at any AVA, USEF, or FEI recognized competition • The score may be either the Round 1 score for a recognized event or the Overall R1/R2 score. • Non recognized classes are not included. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS • Scores may be earned over an 18 month period prior to close of entries for the National Championship. • The vaulter must have participated in a minimum of 3 AVA, USEF and/or FEI recognized competitions with at least one from the vaulter's home Region during the 18 month qualifying period. • The vaulter must have one score that meets the above qualifying standards • To qualify for copper, the vaulter must have at least one qualifying score at the canter. (The other scores could be at the trot.) WHAT LEVEL IS THE VAULTER QUALIFIED FOR? • Qualifying scores earned in this manner qualify the vaulter for the highest level competing.
