Entries for all competitions are now made on the sport 80 platform https://auth.sport80.com/ Pre entries are now replaced by an individual competition pass, these can be purchased by the individual competitor from the Sport 80 site or for those clubs that currently pay the pre entries for their members can be paid by the Club and can be allocated accordingly. Entries are then made by the Chef de quipe for the competition. In order that we can maintain the smooth operation of the qualifiers a copy of the entries can then be sent on the Area entry form available below to area20liaisoncommittee@gmail.com when Flu vacc requirements can be checked. Horse/Rider changes. it will be necessary to ensure the organiser receives changes by the time indicated on the schedule, only under exceptional circumstances will changes be taken after this time. Please remember horses entered into a qualifier should be entered in their passport name, not their Stable name
It will be necessary for competitors to present passports and hats (+body protectors at Horse trials & eventing) prior to the competition on the day.
Passports can be presented pre competition, on line at area20liaisoncommittee@gmail.com , this will make presentation on the day less onerous.
If you wish to do it on line, any first timers at Qualifiers should send pictures of the ID page, passport and Microchip Nos & Full Flu vaccination record.
Chefs de quipe are responsible for their riders being aware of these conditions.
Previous competitors, please update your boosters with us. @ area20liaisoncommittee@gmail.com

Please be aware, if for any reason an event has to be cancelled, refunds will only be available less the cost commitments of the event. When they have been fulfilled, refunds may be available, subject to the discretion of the Area Committee.
Helper policy - qualifiers run on a 1 helper per team or per 4 helpers policy, without this help qualifers are unable to run. The
exception to this is the Horse Trials which will be determined at the time of organisation due to the greater need of the competition.
Please note, where non Qualifying Classes are offered, these can only be opened to non members if they have their own insurance, non members are not covered by BRC insurance.

If you are intending to compete with other disciplines, you need to check with those disciplines and their venues as to their requirements.
If you have competed at qualifiers in the past and you intend to compete at this years qualifiers & you have had recent boosters, it would be useful if you could contact Area20 at area20liaisoncommittee@gmail.com ,
with a photo of the vaccination update so that the Area database can be updated, this will help save a lot of time and helpers at the qualifiers. First time qualifier entrants can send a photo of the ID page, Microchip & passport No's and Full Flu vacc record to the above email.
If you have any other questions about Flu vacc policy, please address them to area20liaisoncommittee@gmail.com
