B. Class splits for Halter classes will be determined at the discretion of the Show Manager; however, it is mandatory that all classes be split at forty five (45). Each judge will place ten (10) horses out of each go round first through tenth. Using the accumulated point system, the Top Ten from each go round shall be designated semi-finalists. The numbers of the semi-finalists shall be posted as soon as possible after tabulation is completed. The semi-finalists will return to the ring to determine the final Top Ten. Finalists shall return for judging at a later time for selection of Champions and Reserves and down to tenth place. C. Driving classes will numerically be split as equally as possible based upon the length and width of the arena, multiplied by two, to determine the running feet of the arena and then divided by 36 running feet per horse. Each judge will score their top ten horses. Using the accumulated point system, the top ten from each go will be considered as possible finalist. The Show Manager will bring back the maximum amount of horses possible per split, but not to exceed ten or a number that exceeds the maximum allowable exhibitors for the running feet of the arena. If final is run immediately after splits, the paddock master will separate and send split A into the ring followed by split B with the two minute gate rule being strictly enforced. (Amended 02-11, effective 0112), (Amended 02-14, effective 01-15) D. Championship shows will be judged with a three (3) judge system wherein all three scores will be used in the tabulation for class placing. E. Show management reserves the right to judge classes in two (2) rings simultaneously if suitable and necessary. When it becomes necessary to use two (2) rings, they shall be divided into halter and performance (single work classes). Each performance exhibitor shall be extended all courtesy and consideration with a view to affording them the opportunity to show each horse in each class. B. A horse entering the ring in the wrong order or have missed entering the arena in the assigned order will be eliminated from competition. It is the exhibitor/handler’s responsibility to enter the arena in the posted order of go. Deviations to the order of go may only be made by Show Management, and only in the cases of extraordinary circumstances, i.e., use of two show arenas, broken equipment, etc. (Amended 2-26-05, effective 01-06) 167 SHOW RULES WS-027 ORDER OF GO A.
