BD novice qual

[carthorse]

I know you have to win two classes with over 65% one being a qualifier. Would my win at area festival count? Haven't competed in any other yet this time as been so busy and it would mean I could just aim at one win, what do you think?

 

[Jo C]

I would have thought it should count but I'm no expert.

 

[carthorse]

It would be nice if it does, lets hope our resident expert logs on! lol

'Fraid not

..... I think it's probably because they are not open to everyone, ie you must have qualified to be in the AF, so it's like the Regionals in that they are not qualifiers for anything other than the Champs.

BD Rule 141 k) Area Festivals carry grading points but do not count as qualifiers
in anyway (except for the Festival Final).

 

[Jo C]

Yes its great having an expert on the forum. Technically it is a qualifying class, this is where the BD rules get confusing though.

 

[CSYMolly]

Pretty sure it does, give BD a quick call they're usually pretty helpful.

 

[CSYMolly]

So even if you win the other class ie not the championship class it still doesn't count?

 

[carthorse]

Thanks , found a few to do, so will have to try very hard.Was worth asking.

 

[Bananaman]

No, if it's the warm up class that would be fine......just the AF class itself wouldn't count towards qualification for the Winter Regionals.

Ok I really must go and study the rule book, so many things seem to have passed me by!

(like not saluting with your whiphand etc)

 

[Bananaman]

With the scores you've been clocking uplately, I doubt you'll have to try too hard!

Good Luck.

We just haven't had any time to do any, doing Spillers tomorrow, could have done a qualifier there today but wanted to keep him fresh for tomorrow, they also have some on Sunday but its little ones 2nd birthday.Going to Solihull and Swallowfield so if its to be ,it will be.

 

[SaraG]

Bananaman is spot on with both the rule and the rationale.

A win in an AF class cannot be counted as the non-qualifier part qualification, however a win in a non AF warm-up class can.

Sure you will have no probs anyway winning two!!! Get yourself out there girlie!!!!!!!!!
