AWARDS ELIGIBILITY: Each exhibitor is responsible for knowing and understanding all applica- ble AQHA, NSBA, OQHA and Summer Classic rules and procedures. Exhibitors are responsible for knowing the awards for which they and their horses are eligible. Further, by competing for an award, the exhibitor is in effect attesting to his or her eligibility for that award. Any awards received at the Oregon Summer Classic for which the exhibitor is found to be ineligible must be returned immediately, with the exhibitor bearing any costs associated with such return.
Summer Classic awards are based on the nine-point system: if there are nine or more horses in the class, first place wins nine points, second wins eight points, and so on. If there are fewer than nine horses, first place wins the maximum possible, second place earns one fewer, and so on.
AWARDS PICK-UP: All awards must be picked up at the show, prior to the closing of the awards office on the last day of the show. The show will not be responsible for shipping or otherwise delivering any awards to exhibitors who have departed prior to the prizes being awarded. The show office will be closed immediately following the last class on Sunday for 1 hour to calculate the all-around awards.
