2009 Season

New rules for 2009

The Eacdg follows the BHDTA rules, which in turn follow the FEI. These rules have been extensively rewritten for 2009, though the rewrite is mainly to make the rules easier to read, with few real changes.

Changes which may affect club drivers include:
  • You no longer have to carry a whip in the marathon. Nonetheless, the Eacdg strongly encourages you to do so as it is an essential aid.
  • You get penalty points if you are not ready to start on time for Section A: 0.2 points per second
  • You have gone through an obstacle gate when the whole turnout passes through the gate (it used to be just the rear axle)
  • The penalties for being too fast in Section A or E are now the same as those for being too slow - 0.2 per second (it used to be 0.1 for being too fast).
  • The use of a 'yellow card' for warnings is formalised
