LEAGUE TABLE

How points are awarded

Points are awarded at all WORC events on the basis of 1st = 6 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 4 points, 4th = 3 points, 5th = 2 points and 6th = 1 point. These points are doubled for Area placings and trebled for Championship placings. For actually competing at a Championship, we award 10 bonus points per discipline. (Ponies are classified as 15.0hh & under. Horses are 15.1hh & over)

Prize giving for all the awards takes place every year at the AGM in October. As well as awards given to those gaining points through out the year, the Committee also make discretionary awards, such as Most Improved Senior & Junior members, Best All-rounder, Best Team spirit, Best helper etc.
