Intent fee for mounted disciplines is $100 and for Quiz $50. Members should have
their forms submitted by April 9, 2014. Please encourage your members who would
like to attend Champs without a mount to sign up as Stable Managers!! Here are
the Regional policies pertaining to Championships:
Article VIII: USPC Championships
Section A: General
The goal of the Region is to support qualified members at
Championships. Pony Club Members in Good Standing within the Region who meet the
age and Certification requirements for the discipline in which they intend to
compete, and who qualify at a regional rally or equivalent in that discipline,
are eligible to compete at USPC Championships. All eligible Members are invited
to qualify for Regional teams. At the discretion of the RS, in consultation with
the Regional Council and as funds permit, the Region will help to support
Championships participants annually, paying up to one half the entry fee for
each competitor, and an equal amount of expense reimbursement for the Team
Stable Manager. (Stable managers are required in order for teams to compete at
Championships.)
Championships competitors receiving financial assistance from NCPR are
expected to qualify at NCPR’s rallies whenever
possible.
Section B: Intent to Compete
Registration requires a written intent on the part of the member and
the family. Intent forms are due by April 1 to the RS. A $100 intent fee for
riding disciplines, or $50 intent fee for Quiz, is required with the application
to register. The fee will be applied to the Member’s cost of entry, or refunded
after team selection if the applicant is not chosen or withdraws their intent.
Only one fee is needed for one or multiple registrations. Qualified Members who
want to be Stable Managers are to fill out an intent form, but no fee is
required. The RS will send written confirmation of receipt of the intent
form.
Section C: Team Selection
1. Quiz: For each division (Jr. D, Sr. D, Jr. C, and Sr. C) the
registered Pony Clubbers with the four best scores in each division shall make
up the team. Second teams may be considered if allowed by Championship
organizers.
2. Other Rallies: Riding and horse management scores will be considered
in team selections. Second teams may be selected if possible. If not selected
for the Regional Team, individual riders may compete if a scramble team may be
arranged through the discipline secretary.
3. The Pony Club member’s portion of entry fees for participating in
Championships are to be paid to the Region at the time the member is selected
and agrees to participate.
4. Stable Managers: Written documentation of the Stable Manager’s
expenses must be presented to the RS in accordance with Regional reimbursement
policy.
National
Level Test intents should
