I went to a dressage show and I got a 64.048% and they converted it to Eventing terms as a 25%. Is that correct?
Total points is 210 and I got 134.5(including collective marks). They divided 134.5 by 210 and then multiplied by 100 to get the 64.048%. If I subtract 134.5 from 210, I get 75.5 and then subtract that from 100 and get 24.5% but is that the correct way to do it? I’m very confused how they got 25 as the eventing equivalent score.
All you need to do to get the eventing equivalent is subtract the % from 100%. So a 64.048% in straight dressage is a 35.952 in eventing scoring.
I’ve heard of a dressage coefficient, but only going the other way to heighten the importance of your dressage score not the other way. This looks more like a calculation or input error.
Wrong way to do it. You want to express your score as a percentage of the total (100%) score of 210. So you divide 210 by 100 = 2.1 then you divide your score 134.50 by 2.1 = 64.0476190476 :winkgrin: 100.00 minus 64.0476190476 = Eventing 35.9523809524
Somebody wrote 2 instead of 3 !
that makes sense and clears my confusion. Thank you!
Seems complicated. Why not just do the percent as score divided by possible score? So 134.5 /210 = 64.0476 etc. Eventing score is 100 minus dressage score, so 100 - 64.0476 = 35.952 etc.
Because it helped OP to understand, as she did not by doing it your way.
