| 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 | |||||||||||
