VT Temporary Changes

[Chris Nelson]

Chris,

Given the plethora of courses (thank you, I will do my best to help make up lost trial money!), I wanted to check on the maximum number of runs in a day.  I assume it is 8 a day for flat stuff and max 4 of jumping, as in a regular show?  We did all 4 barrels today and, with double runs, that is 8 runs.  The dogs and I are tired and I think that may be too much for other days so likely we likely will max out at 4 runs in future days.  But I wanted to check so we know the right rules.  I find it easier to just build all of a certain kind of course since we already have the equipment out for that class.

p.s. thank you!  I really hope lots of people are doing this so NADAC can stay financially solvent!

Hey Amy,

It's never been an issue in the past, so it's not really something we have a solid rule on.    It was never really possible, or warranted since people usually just set a couple classes.

I would say that 8 rounds is a good limit though, keep it in line with a trial

Thank you The sun just came out and we are going to see what we can do today.  It's spring in Oklahoma and the forecast is for 30 mph winds all afternoon so we may be limited in what we can build!

Chris,
can you please clarify if you are still limiting the jumping classes to 4?
Thank you,
Lauri

Right now all bets are off.    If you want to do more, you certainly can.

Thanks so much for these changes!  We have access to a place with nice contacts (with slats).  We have submitted 10 runs already.  The double runs and allowing slats  are a huge draw!

To help with clarity in VT submissions. We want to double run regular. Let's say I Q in all 4 (stop laughing). How do I label them? The course maps are labeled Round 1 for the first run and Round 2 for the reverse? Should the first two be labeled Round #1 and Round #2 and the reverse labeled Round #3 and Round #4?

If you go to the View VT Runs, you can see people have been creative with the labeling.


We're doing Regular tomorrow and will be labelling as follows

Bergan Regular Round 1 !st Run,  Then 2nd run

Bergan Regular Round 2, 1st run, then 2nd run

You can put that in the box for the Course Name We are also announcing it on the videos as well
It helps us to keep it all straight!

Good luck with your runs!

[Jeannie Biggers]

If you just say Reg 1 Run 1, Reg 1 Run 2, Reg 2 Run 1, Reg 2, Run 2 or something similar that works.  You could even do like you say just label them 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Just so we all know which run it is

[Chris Nelson]

Yeah you pretty much just get creative!

The system wasn't designed with double run regular in mind, so the labels don't really work

[Jeff Lyons]

Can we submit 5 point Regular Qs (dropped bar)?  Can the system handle those? 

[Jeannie Biggers]

No, no 5 pt Q's
