Presidents Trophy

A. Scoring for each event is made of three parts.

  1. Points are granted for each type of show.  See the table below:
Type of Event or Show Show Points
National/World Championships 5
State/Provincial/Regional Championship 4
USDF/ADS/USEF/EC Recognized Show 3
Non-Recognized Show or Schooling Show 2
Fair Classes 1
  1. 2. Points for your placing within the event, shown below:
Placing in Class Placing Points
1st 6
2nd 5
3rd 4
4th 3
5th 2
6th 1
  1. 3. Points for the total number of entrants in the class.  The point value is simply the number of entries in the class.  The total score for a class is determined by multiplying the Show Points times the Placing Points times the number of entries in the class.

Example:

Suppose you participate in an CEF/USEF recognized event and that you placed 3rd out of 11 entries.

This would be as follows:

For the type of show 3 pts
For the placing 4 pts
For the total number of entries in the class 11 pts
The total score would be 3 x 4 x 11 =132 pts
