Table II Sec I?? (First show) (UPDATE: Had a GREAT Time!)

[Finding_Serenity]

I’m going to my first Schooling Jumper show with my boy (we’re technically eventers-in-training but we haven’t showed together yet other than “fun shows” at my trainer’s barn) coming up on Sunday and have been reading up on rules and such.

Thing is, I can’t find what “Table II Sec I” means after the first round? (rule posted below for reference) There are three classes in the “division”. Does this mean that each class is considered first round and there are no jump offs?

Thanks!

2. Time First Round (Table II, Sec. 1)—The first round is decided by adding together the faults incurred over the course and any penalties for exceeding the Time Allowed. Horses with clean rounds or equal faults are classified according to their time taken to complete the course. (Note: it is recommended that Table II Sec. 1 be conducted over a Table II course rather than a Table III course.)

Yes, it’s a speed class. Faults then time determine placing. So the fastest clear round wins.

Have fun!

As said above, it is a straight speed class. Here is a list of the classes typically seen at jumper shows

Table II.1 - speed class - there is one round, the winner is the fastest clear round, or fastest with the lowest number of faults
Table II.2a - jump off qualifier, where all clear first rounds come back at the end of the class to jump off.
Table II.2b - jump off qualifier, where competitors, upon jumping clear, remain in the ring for an immediate jump off round.
Table II.2c - Power and Speed - you must jump the “power” part clear, usually 8 jumps, and then continue immediately into the speed portion without stopping and waiting for a second tone.
Table IV.1 - Optimum time first round - the optimum time is defined as 4 seconds below the time allowed. The rider with the fewest faults and closest to the optimum time is the winner. This class is often seen at local shows for lower heights, to discourage inexperienced riders from racing around small jumps and potentially hurting themselves.

Those are the classes I’ve seen at most schooling and USEF rated shows. There are a few other formats, but you are unlikely to run into them.

Thanks! I’m glad I don’t have to worry about remembering a jump off course too for the division :lol:

Yeah I had seen the A/B/C references in other threads, but I wasn’t sure if each class was considered it’s own round or not which is why I was confused.

Thanks again!

Side note: for Table II section 2, someone (i think it was even right here on COTH) once taught me this easy way to remember when the jump off is:

2a - jump off AFTER the class
2b - wait for the BUZZER
2c - CONTINUE the course.

Am I mistaken in thinking there was a class at some point (a while back, so possibly/hopefully done away with) in which faults converted to seconds?

You are not mistaken. Faults converted still exists, but it’s not used very much.

Thank you guys for the help!

We had a fantastic time and I’m so glad we did NOT have to remember jump off courses on top of it all (though I remembered all three courses AND had to go first for all the classes! :eek: :lol: )

We placed Reserve Champion in the puddle jumpers and 3rd in a 2’-2’3 single class. We’re moving up next time now that I know I can remember and that he perks up with the higher jumps (We school 2’3-2’6 regularly at home).

Don’t have many pictures yet but do have my blog post up!

Just wanted to thank you again for the help!
