TDI MEMBERS CONSISTENCY TROPHIES
The aim of the Member Consistency perpetual
trophies is to recognise Club members who have performed consistently
at a given training level at Club member only events throughout the year. Only
the best 3 placings for a horse and rider combination achieved over the
Club's events are considered for final awards. To be elligible for members consistency trophies riders must become financial members by first Members Only event for the year.
The trophy point system works in a similar way to the official dressage grading system, with points from 35 - 1 being awarded for placing in events. For example:
1st
= 35 points
2nd = 34 points
3rd = 33 points
4th = 32 points
5th = 31 points
6th = 29 points etc
TDI OFFICIAL HIGHPOINT TROPHIES
The aim of the Official Highpoint Trophies is to recognise Club members who have performed outstandingly at the EA Offiical competitions run by Toowoomba Dressage throughout the competition year. Points will be awarded same as for the Consistency Trophies but ALL competitions for each horse/rider combination will be included. Elligibility requires each horse/rider combination to compete at a minimum of two (2) official events hosted by Toowoomba Dressage.
Thank you to all the sponsors of our perpetual trophies and all Club members should recognise and support their contribution in helping to improve the TDI and the benefits membership of it bring to you.
One of the main aims of introducing the trophy system in 2002 was to encourage Club members to support Club competition days and to bring a sense of history to the Club. Each year the trophy has recorded on it the winning horse and rider names and the year it was awarded. Over time these trophies become a part of the Clubs' history.
The
trophies are presented at the Club's trophy presentation function held
in January each year. The winner keeps the trophy for that year and must
return it to the Club prior to the next years funtion. A small keeper
trophy will be presented to the trophy winner at the following years function.
