BSJA fence heights????

[jumpthemoon]

Is there anywhere that tells you the height of Discovery classes? Also, the jump off heights - am I right in thinking it goes up 10cm?

Try looking on the BSJA wb site and down loading the rules. Discovery is 1.00m and Jump off is only up about 5cm to 1.05m but not all the fences would be that height.

Jump off can go up 10cm to 1.10

 

[jumpthemoon]

Phew! I thought 10cm was a lot....

I've looked all though the rules and I can't see the heights of the classes anywhere

Thanks for that

ooooh....does it depend on where you compete? Do they not always put it up that much? not sure how it works?

 

[Sarah_Jane]

Generally they will put it up 10cm wll depend slightly on the course builder and no. in jump off.

I see.....thanks for telling me - I'll know to pack my rescue remedy when we start competing!

 

[Sarah_Jane]

You'll be fine

 

[jumpthemoon]

Thanks

It's daft how 10cm is soooo tiny, but in terms of how much bigger the jumps look (to me, anyway!) it's a huge amount!

i think jump off is always height of next class, i.e british novice disc jump off height ect. mayb im wrong

Thats called lazy coursebuilders syndrome

It definetly doesn't work if the next class after a Discovery for example is a 1m open

Rule is first round of a discovery is 1m with at least 90% of the fences at the maximum height. The jump off can then be a maximum of 10cm hgiher than the first round.

In practice it depends on the venue, number in the class, coursebuilder and the jumps themselves as to how big it is. I have seen Discovery's no bigger than a proper british novice but on the other hand I have seen one which I mistook for a Newcomers but the latter is rare!
