Great American /USDF Regional Championship Competitor’s Survey Competitors are welcome to provide their feedback on this show at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/USDFRegionalChampionshipCompetitorSurvey Schooling Schedule Schooling and lunging must take place in the designated warm-up area designated on the facility map. Schooling in other areas is not allowed and can lead to elimination of the rider and their horses from the competition. If you are not in competition on a certain day, we ask that you wait to school until the end of the day to keep the congestion down in the warm-up area. You may be asked to leave the schooling areas until the end of the day if there is too much congestion and you are not showing on that day. Competition arenas are open for practice the day and evening prior to the first day of the competition. After the start of the competition, the arenas are open for schooling for ONE HOUR after the last scheduled ride of the day. This means that ALL rings must be completed for the day before any schooling in the competitions rings is allowed. This will also allow the grounds crew the opportunity to prepare the footing for the next day. A more detailed schooling schedule will be posted in the show office and made available to everyone during the check in process. Reminder: For safety reasons, all trainers and coaches must stay on the outside of the warm- up area during schooling. Please do not stand in the middle of the warm-up area. Sound Checks for Freestyle Classes Sound checks will be held in Ring 2 on the following days: • Wednesday from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm • Friday from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm Please make sure to have TWO CDs of your music labeled with your name. The announcer will NOT accept any other media for your music, this includes cell phones, iphones, or nanos. You can drop your music off in the show office or bring it with you to the sound check. US Dressage Finals Eligibility The US Dressage Finals is an Invitational competition using the USEF/USDF Regional Championship program to qualify. Qualifying takes place at each of the nine Great American/USDF Regional Dressage Championships, based on either 1) Ranking in a Regional Championship Class or 2) Wild Card Eligibility. Either must be achieved at a Regional Championship in a class and eligible division offered at the US Dressage Finals. I. Qualification Based on Ranking in a Regional Championship Class: Champion and Reserve Champion horse/rider combinations for each level and eligible division from each of the nine Regional Championships will be automatically invited, provided the following three requirements are met: US Citizenship; Declaration of Intent completed by the deadline; and earning an eligible ranking in a Regional Championship class. Note: Since Freestyle classes at Regional Championships are not split by division, the top two declared Open horse/rider combinations and the top two declared Adult Amateur horse/rider combinations for each level from each of the nine Regional Championships will be automatically invited. In addition, to be eligible for the Adult Amateur division in the Freestyles at the US Dressage Finals, competitors must check the AA box on the Regional Championship entry form and must provide proof of Adult Amateur status prior to competing in their Regional Championship classes. 1) United States Citizenship Requirement: To compete in any US Dressage Finals class, the rider must be a US citizen. 2) Declaration Requirement: The horse/rider combination must declare their intention to participate by completing the Declaration of Intent form by midnight on the day prior to the first day of their Regional Championship competition (including any open class day before the start of championship classes). There is no fee to declare, but horse/rider combinations must declare at the level(s) and eligible division(s) they intend to compete in at the US Dressage Finals.
