The Show Rundown

  • 2023 Summary of standards and numbers as set by officials
  • Did the judges use the scale, and does it matter?
  • Over 88% of maneuver marks are scored between -.5 to +.5, even at the aged events
  • Does penalty application being non-unanimous affect the final scores? 
  • Crossing 0 and errors: why do they happen so much?  

This episode looks at the standards set by 2023 events and then discusses the 4 major events held so far this year. Graphs illustrate why the scores come out the way they do and how hard it is at the top of the class, including analytics for making the cut for finals or the cut for purse payout at events like The Run For A Million Qualifier at The Cactus Classic Reining and the NRBC.
