Sacramento Harness Association (SHA)
and California Amateur Driving Club (CADC) Presents
2007 East vs West Invitational Amateur Driving Challenge
Dates: Friday March 30 and Saturday March 31, 2006
Races: 2-3 per night to be determined by Race Secretary and SHA
Horses: Entered as usual but without designated drivers
Drivers: Drivers owning or training entered horse will be assigned to drive that horse
All remaining drivers will be assigned entered horses by lot
If there are an odd number of horses entered, the teams (East and West) will alternate races
  getting the "extra" horse beginning with the East team
West and East drives will be balanced amoungst the five drivers competing on each team.
  For example, if in the first race 4 of the 5 East drivers are used, in the following race, the driver that did not race
  in the first race must be assigned a drive.  The end result being that no driver will have driven in more than one
  race more than any other driver on his team.
The West team will provide a standby driver in case of last minute illness.
Points: Only team points will be awarded
Points will be accumulated based on the official finish position of each horse in the race according to
   the chart below.
For the purposes of the chart only, "Starters" will be the number of horses that start the race for the team
   with the fewer number of horses in a particular race times 2.  For example, if there are 9 horses programmed,
   5 for the East team and 4 for the West team, and one of the 4 West team's horses are scratched, while there
   would be 8 actual horses that race, the number of starters for point purposes would be 6.
If there are an unbalanced number of horses that race for each team, the unbalanced portion for the team with
   the greater number of horses racing will be ignored for point purposes only.  Using the above example, the
   two East team's horses that finish "worst" of their 5 would be ignored for point purposes only.
Other: Any rule not specifically addressed above or otherwise established by CADC will be decided by CADC
Executive Committee or Race Office as appropriate
