DEM. DEC BE results listing

[frazzled]

Noticed that BE have added these (DEM and DEC) to results listings. Am being totally dimwitted but what do they mean?

I'm not sure, but as they are associated with the dressage I think DEM means dressage error marks, and that would fit with the pattern of 2s and 6s, eg 1 or 2 errors of test.
And by similar reasoning, DEC may be dressage equal collectives- eg, if 2 people are on same score, same distance from optiumum time xc then they'll detrmine the result on collectives?

 

[frazzled]

That would make sense , thank you

I think that they don't use dressage collectives to break a tie at BE. Perhaps Dressage Error of Course?

i think DEC = Dressage error Course and DEM= Dressage error marks as now instead of being eliminated for not wearing gloves, not dropping stick or leaving boots on you get penalties instead.
