contaminators??? that’s a new one!!
Wonderful ride by P. Delaveau… for France… what a crowd too![/QUOTE]
Opps. I meant commentators. Stupid spell check. :o
We’ve moved up to 2nd?!?!?
I think Mclain and Beezie should be team members for life. I’m pretty sure they could ride anything to a clear round

Hey you guys with video, would appreciate commentary on Eldorado van het Vijverhof and Tamerino who should be coming up soon.[/QUOTE]
Eldorado had two down - third jump which is a very wide oxer, and then A (also a wide oxer) of the triple combination. Very nice clear after that, the team was thrilled!
Tamerino had three down - same third fence, C of the triple combination, and an oxer later on course where it looked like she lost some rideability.
Thank you iEquitate!

Yes, we did. When Ludger had a rail we moved up and Germany moved down.
So proud of our team! I hope we can keep this momentum going! :yes: 
The standings are so close in the individual rankings! Holy cow! Less than a rail separating the top 13!

Exciting. Terrible week for me to be away on business and not able to watch or follow very closely.
I was looking at the scores for individuals and noticed that Beezie has 0.16 when she’s jumped 2 clear rounds so far. Patrice also has 0.08 when he jumped two clear rounds. Can someone please explain what the points mean and how they got them?

This is the strongest team we’ve had since Hong Kong or before. I’m so proud of them too!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that’s their score carried over from the speed round yesterday. It’s calculated by how far behind the fastest time they were.

I’m pretty sure you’re right. I’m like 80% sure Patrice was right behind Bertram Allen.
I’m really rooting for America, but I think my second team would be the Netherlands because Gerco Schroder and London. It was a tough year for them, and I love tracking their progress on Glock’s website.

Pretty much, I think it’s the difference between X rider’s time and the leading time, multiplied by a 0.5 coefficient
For anyone that’s interested, here’s an interview with Lucy Davis: http://horsejunkiesunited.com/?p=87917
And with Beezie Madden:

Yes, but the individuals have at least three more rounds to jump…
Anywhere to watch the trips if we were not able to see them live?

Thats my point, its literally anyone’s game right now. 
Should make for an exciting three days!
Considering the commentator gets on my last nerve, I rather like the spell check choice of words.
