IQ State Championship Qualifiers

We would like to take this opportunity to remind all Interschool competitors to check the IQ handbook for information about what the qualification criteria is for each discipline. It is very important that you are aware of what results you need to gain in order to qualify for States. There have been a few incorrect rumours that have been heard regarding the criteria so please ensure that you have read the IQ handbook- the criteria has not been changed from what has been published!

For your information, below is a summary of the criteria for all disciplines taken from page 57 of the IQ handbook.

Dressage:

Minimum of 3 IQ test scores from at least 2 IQ competitions in the level you wish to compete. At least 1 of the scores is required to be a minimum of 58% for Preliminary or Novice and a minimum of 55% for all other levels.

If classes reach maximum numbers the 3 scores will be added together and divided by 3 to get an average score to allow for balloting of the top riders who will be invited to compete.

*Year 12 riders may nominate with only 2 test scores from any IQ competition at their chosen level but one must be a minimum of 58% for

Prelim and Novice or 55% for all other levels. These scores will be divided by 2 for an average for balloting purposes.

*CQ & FNQ- As per Year 12, however EA run competition days will be able to be considered in these regions. If riders do not have EA scores, they are encouraged to send in any performance scores they have for the IQ Convenor’s consideration.

Showman:

Minimum of 2 best results at the same class level from any IQ Showman competitions.

The results will be ranked to allow for a balloting process (e.g. 1st place will receive 10 points down to 1 point for 10th place and 1 point per rider after 10th). The combinations ranking points will be added together to get a list of qualified riders in rank order to allow for this discipline to be capped at State Championships if required.

*Year 12 riders may submit their best performance and it will be doubled to allow for ranking.

*CQ & FNQ- As per Year 12, however if no IQ competitions are run locally you can apply to the discipline convenor using Ag Show scores and EA Dressage Scores and Pony Club performances for special consideration to attend States.

Jumping:

Minimum of 3 results from at least 2 IQ competitions with a maximum of 4 faults total in the first round for all 3 results.

*Year 12 riders may nominate with only 2 results from any IQ competition but must still meet the above maximum penalties.

*CQ & FNQ- As per Year 12, however EA run competition days will be able to be considered in these regions. If riders do not have EA scores, they are encouraged to send in any performance scores they have for the IQ Convenor’s consideration.

Eventing:

A minimum of 2 one day event results at any EA competition.

Riders must be competing at their appropriate level (see Eventing section 11 for specific rules on age requirements for Eventing levels) with 2 results that achieve the following minimums:
