Hey, replying to your thread weeks after you posted it but anyway!

Yep, you get points either everytime you jump a double clear (ponies:D and CD classes and horses 90cm-1 point, 1m 2 points, 1m10 - 3points, 1m20 3 points) or if you are placed in a class, eg. 1st 6 points, 2nd 5 points etc.

You are divided into a different grade depending on how many points the horse has. for example in ponies grade D is less that 75 points. In horses grade E is less than 30 points and to be grade A you need over 200 points.

The number of points can be translated into bsja winnings by 1 point = £9 in winnings.

Any other questions just ask!!! :D
