I have been looking at show jumping entries and am wondering what does it mean to be AM5 and AM7? Also are there any other classifications? Where would I be able to find out htis information?
Thanks

Jacy these are not classifications but class names/types such as an Am5 is where you jump your course and if you finish under time with no penalties you start a Jump-off round straight away. you should be able to get up to date with the classes with the Sj rule book from the EFA.

The EFA and FEI SJ rule books don't tell you what A this and AM that mean. I've never seen it written anywhere (although there are veiled references to the different types of competition in the rules if you know where to look). Can only find out by word of mouth. It's an AM7 that has the jump-off round straight away, not an AM5.

Most of the types of competitions are explained in the Pony Club rule book. You could try looking there...

Hi AM5 is time limited. for example if the time is 70 seconds you must try and finish the course with no penalties around 70 seconds. then if you go clear you get into the jump off and then the closest time wins.
AM7 is just a normal jumping course and if you get clear you go into the jump off. There are time penalties for knock downs but in AM7 there is no time limit. AM3 i think is top score where you try and get as many points as possible by jumping over all the jumps as fast as you can 2 times. Hope this helps you...

AM7 does have a time limit for the first round, you only get to do the jump off if you are within that time and clear.

AM7 & AM5 are basically the same. The only difference is that the AM7 jump off is straight away (ie you don't leave the ring). In AM5, every rider does the first round, and then they call everyone eligible for the jump off back into the ring one at a time. Hence, in an AM5 they can put the jumps up, or move them around, for the jump off.

Theres heaps of different SJ comps like AM2 AM3 AM5 AM7 Table A Table B Table C top score, power and speed need i go on? I think the best way you can do it is ask when your walking the course i'd have no idea eventing sj is just clear and under time!
