This always gets my head in a mess so could someone explain in very simple terms how 2phase and single phase work.. I would be most grateful before I embarrass myself!
2phase etc for showjumping?

2 phase jumping is a method of getting through the entries alot quicker. It eliminates the need for a jump off. You jump i.e the first 8 fences & if you go clear you will jump the remaining 5/6 fences (Phase 2) against the clock & the quickest horse with the fewest faults in the 2nd phase wins. Normally the 2nd phase jumps will be a hole higher than the first 8 fences (First Phase).......I hope that's assisted you.

2 phase is really quite simple & has real benefits especially with a young horse. Once you have completed the first part of the course, if you are clear you will continue straight into the jump off phase (timed) If you are not clear a bell will ring to let you know you have finished your round
Single phase. Are you referring to A7 where you do your 1st round & then if clear you leave the ring & come in again for the jump off?

Right - 2 phase is commonly found in lower classes and at busy shows. The course will be numbered from 1 to, as an example, 14. There will be a start/finish line somewhere in the middle, say after fence 8. If you go clear up to and including fence 8 you have qualified for the jump-off, which you are in immediately. Fastest one leaving the fences up from 9 to 14 wins. If you had any faults between 1 and 8 the judges will ring the bell when you jump 8 and you are not allowed to carry on.
A7 is the "classic" format. Everyone jumps the full numbered course, then those that went clear will go back in afterwards and jump-off over a shortened course consisting of some of the fences that were in the first round.
Single phase (which I've only seen at Addington) consists of a numbered course of, for example, 14 fences, which everyone jumps. There is a beam after fence 6 for example and everyone gets a time for the second part of the course. Those that manage to leave everything up are separated by their time over the second half.
Have I confused you more?!

Single phase seems to be used in most British Novice classes now.. which for a true novice is very good as it allows the horse time to have a good look and gain experience, but when people go around the first 'untimed' section and rack up 20faults say for example I think they should come out and not contiue as it just wastes time, especially if the show is really busy!!!!
