of jumping in Australia

• As from January 2013
• The same allocation of points for placings as per
  the current grading system (Article 282) will
  continue to underpin the development of jumping.
• Event Organisers will have the flexibility to use
  the allocation of points and height to
  differentiate competitions. Replacing A, B, C and
  D.
• Competitions will be more standardised based on
  the height, width and speed. Competitors will be
  able to enter a competition knowing the maximum
  height and width of obstacles in the first
  round.Eg. Where the height is stated at 1.30m or
  less then there must be no less than 3 verticals
  and 3 spread obstacles at the maximum.
