Discriptions of Divisions and Classes
Here are detailed descriptions of all the classes that will be ASHJC recognized.
This page should outline all eligibility matters. However, if you have any questions or suggestions please e-mail Me. Just because a certain class/division is listed here does not mean it will be offered at shows, this is simply a list of all classes that the ASHJC will recognize. It is up to who ever is running a particular show as to which classes/divisions are offered!
* Update *
Because the 2001 ASHJC Show Season ran so smoothly, we will be making only minor changes to the 2002 Divisions and Classes. First, the division formerly known as "Grand Prix Jumpers" will become "Open Jumpers" in order to be more realistic. All else about this division will remain unchanged. Also, ASHJC will now have Grand Prixs. It will be only one class, have its own standings, and go by a different point value system. Other than that, we have choosen to add a new division this year. Green Jumpers, this will add a new building block to future stardom for our young jumpers. That's it! Enjoy the season!
