Team clothing

National Training

  • National Training with Ferdi Eilberg is continuing and it is planned to have approximately 10 visits per year.

Judges Membership

  • Judges membership will continue to be issued free of charge to all judges who attend training on a yearly basis.

National Championships

  • National Championships received a very good general feedback and the response from the Regions with regard help was no small contribution to this.

  • A day class schedule will be presented in future, with the small/big tour classes in chronological order and the remainder of the classes built around these.

  • The prize fund was upped to €8120 this year

CDI Riders

  • CDI riders, who are looking for permission for 2012 without sufficient scores, will need to get qualification scores again at national shows.

  • It was agreed that once permission was granted to compete internationally, this should last for a 12 month period and not only till December of the running year.

  • The 65% as a qualification mark was set by H.S.I. and was regarded as fair.

Sportsman Classes

  • It was decided to continue the Sportsman Classes for 2012 and the stipulation that riders who gain 66% on 3 or more occasions during the year must move up, will be disregarded for this year. It was suggested to make this a 2 yearly ruling.
