Rules for Submission - The following rules MUST be followed in order for your entry to be accepted, scored, and placed.


1. Each submitted test must have been ridden within a specific time frame, between the 11th of the month prior and the submission date for that month's virtual show. (E.g. a June Virtual Show submission must have been ridden between May 11th and June 10th). 

​

2. The video MUST be made from behind C and in a dressage arena with all letters required for that test/level. The arena dimensions should be as close to regulation size as possible, but we will be a little flexible. A small arena is 20m x 40m (66' x 132') and a large arena is 20m x 60m (66' x 198').
 
3. The video MUST be one continuous flow. No splicing video segments together.

6. The video MAY NOT be a ride from a previous show. The date and time must be shown at the beginning of the video.

 

7. The following information MUST be included on a piece of paper/white board and included at the beginning of the recording before the ride starts: Rider name, horse name, test ridden, date riddenThis information must be shown for a minimum of 5 seconds prior to test starting. Failure to include this will result in disqualification.
 
8. Video MUST be taken in landscape mode.

​

If any of the above rules are not followed, test will be ineligible for submission to that virtual show. Test will not be judged. Refunds will not be issued. 

​

Once the show has reached its closing date, all entries will be organized into classes. The show entries will be sent to the officiating judge. The judge will watch and score the tests on an electronic form with feedback. The judge will then send the tests back to the organizer, where the classes will be placed. Tests will then be emailed to the rider. The scores will follow the directives on the published tests. For electronic scoring, the score sheet will have abbreviated directives. Riders should review published tests to see the full directives when reviewing feedback. Results will be posted on the GLASS-ED website.
