BE Scottish Championships

[SkyTitch1]

Hi can someone please tell me the rules for qualifying for the Scottish BEnovice championships? I believe for BE90 you just have to come 1st-5th in a BE90 but is this the case for BEnovice or do you qualify for the BEnovice regional finals then qualify for the Scottish Championships at Hendersyde?

Thank you

Thank you! So if my horse came 2nd in an ONu18 or OpenNovice and they are grade 2 can they qualify or do they have to be grade 3/4? My horse has 41 points and 20 foundation points

Reading the rules it says that you would qualify if this happened, i.e. "1st, 2nd or 3rd in an IN, ON or Nov including ONu18 one day event
in the Scottish & Northern Region or elsewhere in GB if ridden by a resident in the Region" and "No Grade 1 horses at Ballot Date."
So, 2nd in a ONu18 and grade 2 is OK.
Your horse's qualifications should be on the BE website if you log in and click on it's name.
Or even better, phone BE and ask them!
