Explanation of TEAM Points

Below is a guide that explains how points for both TEAM Events & Derbies are awarded

  • Points for events and derbies count toward TEAM year-end awards, which are given out at the annual TEAM banquet.

  • Points for events and derbies are assigned based on placing and on the number of starters in the division, using the chart shown below.

  • For blended divisions such as Prelim-Training or Training-Novice, points are awarded at the level of the cross-country phase.

  • No points are given in a division with only 1 or 2 starters.

  • No points are awarded to professional riders at Starter or Beginner Novice levels or at any level at derbies.

  • To receive points, the rider must be a member of TEAM at the start of the competition, and the horse must be registered with TEAM.

  • Points at Starter, Beginner Novice, Novice, and Training are only awarded for events and derbies within Michigan.

  • At Modified level and higher, riders who compete and place in USEA events outside of Michigan should contact the TEAM point-keeper with their information (Rider name, horse name, event, division, placing) which will be verified from scores posted on the USEA website.

2024 TEAM Overall Points

If you are a Modified or Prelim rider and have competed out of state, please use the email address below to inform our Point-Keeper,
as you can receive points that count toward an award at year end for out-of-state competitions at these levels (but you have to let us know).
If you have any questions regarding points for the year, please contact the TEAM Point-Keeper here:
PointKeeper@eventingmichigan.org

If this is the first year that you have competed (and completed) in an event (NOT A DERBY) at a new higher level and have earned points at that level,
please email the TEAM pointkeeper (mulks@msu.edu) with your name, horse, and level.

We have awards at each level for the high point rider in their first year at a given level.
Please note: this has to be the rider’s first year at that level, not the horse.
