One of our local clubs is starting to put on open show cross events this summer. I know this involves a mixture of both SJ and XC fences which sounds appealing to me but I just wandered if people could let me know how these are usually run? Are both the SJ and XC phases run seperately or do the run into each other? How is it judged, is it faults for the SJ part and timed for the XC or timed for the whole thing etc...? Any information would be good. Thanks :D
 
The ones my daughter has done are

showcross :1round of showjumping which is to an optimum time, then xc about 20 mins later. Places are based on faults over both courses then if tied decided by nearest to optimum sj time.

Arena showcross: showjumping course which is timed, then go onto portable xc fences in the same ring which isn't timed (bit like 2 phase but the SJ is timed 1st). Again placed on faults over both, if tied then goes on fastest time.

You usually wear xc gear for both sections & they dont place sj & xc separately xx
