Some of the larger changes are
- Updates to scoring under Table A events

These updates also now include the FEI updates following their General Assembly and publication of the updated FEI Rules.
Should you need any clarification regarding the rule updates please reach out to JUMPING VICTORIA OFFICIALS REPRESENTATIVE Helen Ashby
UPDATE TO JJD SCORING SYSTEM - NOTE FOR CLUBS USING JJD SOFTWARE
As a result of the rule changes mentioned above it was discussed advising our clubs and secretaries who are using the JJD scoring system you may need to update your scoring system software. So it may be ideal to do this a few days out from the next event you are intending to use the software at.
OFFICIALS ACCREDITATION
To maintain EA Officials accreditation, EA Officials must submit accreditation forms every 3 years. The 3-year re-accreditation cycle is coming to an end in March 2022.
To maintain your EA Officials accreditation, you will have needed to make sure you have met the update requirements set out in the Sport Rules which will enable you to re-accredit for the next 3-year period 1/4/2022 - 31/3/25.
Within the first 2 weeks of February, you will receive an e-mail giving you all the necessary re-accreditation information and forms that you will need to submit by 31 March 2022 to stay listed as an EA Official.
Further information regarding any Jumping Victoria planned Courses/Seminars Workshops will be released in due course.
However, If you don’t receive this email from EA , or you simply have a few questions regarding accreditation or If you are needing to attend a course/seminar/workshop please contact JUMPING OFFICAL REPRESENTATIVE Helen Ashby.
