  • All levels 1-4 in the Open Reining, and the scores to get back to the finals
  • The 244 go round entries, the median, max and average score spread
  • The 31 Level 4 Open finalists scores & their score spreads
  • How draw placement correlated to qualifying for the finals
  • The maneuver spread scores in both the go rounds and in the finals & what they mean
  • How often “bingo” appears – when all judges have the same scores & why it matters
