BERMUDA EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION

CRITERIA FOR OVERSEAS JUMPING COMPETITIONS

The BEF Board has decided that ‘Trials’ should be held for the CEA Junior Jumping Competition and the following criteria has been established.  This Criteria may be adopted for any overseas competition when possible.

CEA

1.                  All applicants must be fully paid up members of the Bermuda Equestrian Federation in good standing.

3.                  If a ‘Trial’ is held, only those taking part in that particular ‘Trial’ will be considered for the competition for which the ‘Trial’ is being held.

4.                  The results of each ‘Trial’ will be taken into consideration to decide the competitor(s) who will take part in the applicable CEA Junior Jumping Competition and the results will be used as a guide.

5.                  If due to UNFORSEEN circumstances a ‘Trial’ cannot be held there will be a selection of applicants applying based on previous ‘trial’ results and the results of the current BEF Show Jumping points.
