[Deb Maicach]

So I KNOW I've seen this before, but for the life of me I just can't find it on the Forum. What are the requirements to qualify to enter Starter Stakes at the 2014 Champs?

This year anyone could enter Starter Stakes if they so desired.  Next year at least one 15 point Q will be required.  SilverStakes will need a minimum of 75 bonus points with at least one 20 point bonus in Regular OR two 15 point bonuses in Regular.  SuperStakes will require 100 bonus points with a minimum of two 20 point bonuses in Regular with one of those being with a run index of over 100.

Thank you, Linda, I am impressed!  The one I just posted doesn't have Chances listed.  It "should" say "one 15 point Q in Chances or Regular".  Now we can both have a good copy.  Thank you for helping, it is appreciated!

I'm shooting for Silver Stakes with Zia.  We would have had the 20 pt. Regular in Dec. if I hadn't set her up too close to the first jump and she dropped the bar.  =(

The requirements for Starter Stakes look great and reasonable.  The only problem I see is that I go to 1 or 2 trials per month and I haven't seen a 15 point bonus line since Champs last year.  I see (and occasionally try) a 20 point line or box even though I know we do not have the experience to do the whole thing in flow.  But I consider it great practice.  There are usually only 2 or 3 of us that try that line - and one of them is a Silver Stakes kind of guy  :=)  But having 15 point lines to try would encourage many more people to try.  Can I put in a plea for 15 point lines to start showing up in more courses at more trials?
