The obstacles must be built so that they can be jumped in both directions. 3. The points allocated to the obstacles may be repeated at the discretion of the Course Designer. If it is not possible to place 12 obstacles in the arena, it is up to him to delete the obstacles he wishes. 4. The Athlete is credited with the number of points carried by each obstacle that he has jumped correctly. No points are awarded for an obstacle knocked down. 5. Each Athlete has 45 (minimum) to 90 seconds (maximum). During this time, he may jump all the obstacles he wishes in any order and in any direction. He may cross the starting line in either direction. The starting line must be provided with four flags; a red and a white flag at each end of the line. 6. Ringing the bell declares the end of the round. The Athlete must then cross the finishing line in one direction or the other to allow his time to be recorded. If he does not cross the finishing line, he is placed last of the Athletes with the same number of points. The finishing line must be provided with four flags; a red and a white flag at each end of the line. 7. If the fixed time is reached at the moment when the Horse is already taking off, this obstacle counts if it is correctly jumped. 8. Any obstacle knocked down during a round will not be rebuilt; if it is jumped again, no points will be credited to the Athlete. The same applies for knocking down an obstacle in Disobedience or for displacing a lower part positioned in the same vertical plane. In the case of a Disobedience without a knock-down, the Athlete may jump that obstacle or continue to the next obstacle. 9. Each obstacle may be jumped twice. The act, voluntarily or not, of jumping an obstacle for the third time or of passing between the flags of an obstacle already knocked down does not incur Elimination. However, the Athlete does not score the points allotted to this obstacle 10. All Disobediences are penalized by the time lost by the Athlete; for the Penalty relating to falls, see JRs Art. 241.3.25. 11. The Athlete who has obtained the highest number of points will be declared the winner. In the event of equality of points, the fastest time taken between the starting line and the finishing line will decide. In the event of equality of points and time for first place, there will be a jump-off according to the same formula with a fixed time of 40 seconds. 15 PENANG TURF CLUB INTERNATIONAL HORSE SHOW 2015 26th NOVEMBER – 29th NOVEMBER 2015 12. There are two options for using a Joker: 12.1 An obstacle may be provided as part of the course, duly marked by flags and titled "Joker". The Joker may be jumped twice; 200 points are awarded each time this obstacle is jumped correctly, but if it is knocked down, 200 points must be deducted from the total points obtained so far by the Athlete. 12.2 The Joker is not part of the main course. After the fixed time has expired, the bell is rung to end the Athlete’s round. The Athlete must cross the finishing line to have his time recorded he then has 20 seconds in which to attempt the Joker. Only one attempt at the Joker is allowed. 200 points are awarded if this obstacle is jumped correctly, but if it is knocked down 200 points must be deducted from the total points obtained by the Athlete 3.
