NATIONALS AUCTIONWhat have YOU got on the Table?We are challenging all vaulters and clubs to participate in bringing items for the auction event. Use your creativity in items and in bundling them together. If you get a dinner donated, try to find a bottle of wine. Or if you get a dog grooming donated get some doggie treats. Please all donations $50 value and up to count as an item. Hold a challenge within your club as well. Know someone who crochets? Have them make a blanket. Offer a service…braid a horse, parent’s night out at Nationals, etc. Don’t forget the old standbys of gift cards but maybe someone has tickets to an event or a week at their condo. Again, be creative and we can’t wait to see what you bring to the table!! This auction will take place Saturday, August 10 at National Equestrian Center. All proceeds to help with the cost of Nation-als. Turn in items to the Show Office upon arrival. Questions? Contact Robin Bowman, director at [email protected].

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS CRITERIAAVA/USEF National Championship Qualifying Standards

GOAL• To develop a qualifying standard for determining eligibility to participate in AVA/USEF Nationals Competition.

RATINGS/SCORE STANDARD • Gold - 7.0 • Silver - 6.0 • Bronze - 5.5 • Copper - 5.0 • Trot - 5.0

WHAT SCORES COUNT• Scores may be obtained at any AVA, USEF, or FEI recognized competition• The score may be either the Round 1 score for a recognized event or the Overall R1/R2 score.• Non recognized classes are not included.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS• Scores may be earned over an 18 month period prior to close of entries for the National Championship.• The vaulter must have participated in a minimum of 3 AVA, USEF and/or FEI recognized competitions with at leastone from the vaulter's home Region during the 18 month qualifying period.

• The vaulter must have one score that meets the above qualifying standards• To qualify for copper, the vaulter must have at least one qualifying score at the canter. (The other scores could be at the trot.)

WHAT LEVEL IS THE VAULTER QUALIFIED FOR?• Qualifying scores earned in this manner qualify the vaulter for the highest level competing. The vaulter need not, however, vault at the highest level for which they are presently qualified. For example, a vaulter competing at Bronze and earning a Silver level qualifying score can vault at either Silver or Bronze at the National Championships.• Once qualified at a level, the vaulter is qualified for 3 years at that level. To move to a higher level, the vaulter must

obtain a higher qualifying score.ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF QUALIFYING:

• If a vaulter is in the top 3 in their level as determined by the Regional Supervisor in their Region, that vaulter will be qualified to compete at Nationals Competition for that year• A vaulter qualifying for the National Championship in this manner, who does not otherwise meet the qualifying

standards, must re-qualify the following year. WAIVER

Offer a service…braid a horse, parent’s night out at Nationals, etc. Don’t forget the old stand-bys of gift cards but maybe someone has tickets to an event or a week at their condo.
