Each complete team will enter the ring, and start in jumping card order. Each rider will go through the start and finish and will NOT start before the bell. Each rider will jump one round only. The other members of the team will wait in a holding box in the ring until it is their turn to jump. The score of the team will be found by adding together the faults of the best three riders in the team – the worst score will be dropped. The ten highest placed teams in each division will go forward to the final in the Longines International Arena. If the number of teams on equal faults exceeds ten, places in the finals will be decided by a jump-off. Teams will nominate one rider to jump off against the clock. (ii) The finals will take place in the Longines International Arena. In the final, the team with the most faults in the preliminary competition will start first, and the team with the least, last. The number one rider from each team will jump first, followed by the number two rider, and so on. Faults incurred in the preliminary competition will not be carried forward to the final. In any round if a rider is eliminated they will incur the worse score in the round plus 20 faults. In the event of a tie for first place, there will be one jump-off against the clock. (iii) At the conclusion of each Schools Jumping Team Championship, there will be an Individual Championship. These Individual Championships are only open to those competitors who have qualified to jump in the Team Finals in the Longines International Arena. All competitors who jump a clear round in the Team Finals in the Longines International Arena will go forward to a timed jump-off. If there are no clear rounds, the best scores, e.g. the four faulters, from the first round will jump-off. In the event of there being only 2 to jump-off, the third placing will be decided on faults and time in the first round in the Longines International Arena. If a jump-off is needed to decide the Team Championships, the scores of any eligible individuals involved in that jump-off will count towards the Individual placings, i.e.
