The Competition
At the Finals the competition will be run under BRC SJ rules using a single-phase format. If a rider is clear, they will proceed straight onto a jump-off course which will be timed. Warm up classes are offered at each Championship height. Warm Up classes will run in a separate arena to Championship classes, and will be timed to coincide with the Championship class to allow riders to use the warm up classes as good preparation for their Championship class.
