Get Ready to Show Your School Spirit at the 2018 Intercollegiate Team Challenges
It may be the start of the new year, but for many college students January marks the halfway point in their academic year and for collegiate eventers it’s just a few short months until the third annual USEA Intercollegiate Championship will take place at the Virginia Horse Trials, May 24-27, 2018.
The USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Program was established in 2014 to provide a framework on which eventing teams and individual competitors could flourish at universities and colleges across the country. The USEA offers a discount of $25 on annual USEA memberships for current students of universities and colleges registered as Affiliates with the USEA and many events across the country now offer Intercollegiate Team Challenges throughout the year, where collegiate eventers can compete individually as well as on teams with their fellow students.
In Intercollegiate Team Challenges, each rider’s score is multiplied by a coefficient appropriate for their level to account for differences in level difficulty and then the individual scores are added together to determine the team score. Only the best three individual scores will count towards the team score, so teams of four will have one “drop” score.
The coefficient system is as follows:
- Beginner Novice: 1.1
- Novice: 1
- Training: 0.9
- Preliminary: 0.85
- Intermediate: 0.75
- CCI*: 0.75
- CIC2*: 0.70
