Scoring System/Class Procedures
Due to COVID travel restrictions, for this year only, we have had to adjust the International Judges panel to 3 judges. A survey was emailed to all trainers showing in this division giving them an option on the Scoring System to be used for the International classes at the 2021 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show.
Total Points will be used: These scores will be ‘unweighted’ with a total of 120 possible points per judge. The total score of all judges will be added together. The horse receiving the highest Total Score in each class will be declared the class winner. The horse receiving the second highest Total Score will be declared the second place winner, and so on.
SCORING SYSTEM - INTERNATIONAL SCOTTSDALE QUALIFYING CLASSES – For use in all International Scottsdale Halter classes unless otherwise specified. Individual scores will be awarded by each officiating judge using the World Cup score card. A score of 10-20 will be awarded for each entry in the following six categories:
(1) Arabian Type
(3) Neck & Shoulder
(5) Feet & Legs
(2) Head
(4) Body & Topline
(6) Movement
