Horses must be shown in at least one show held in Delaware, Maryland or Virginia to be eligible.
Points will be calculated using the horses three best shows. If only one or two shows are attended, those points may be and are encouraged to be used. In the event of a tie, a fourth show may be used for a tie-breaker.
