As many of you know, PC Championships East is quickly
approaching and entries are due by Monday, July 8. The competition runs from
July 25 - July 28 in Lexington, VA. All of the info is posted online on the Champs page. In the sport of
polocrosse any player who plays in a qualifying rally is eligible to play at
Championships as long as they do not incur too many horse management points and
are a member in good standing. B/H-A/A members may go with permission of their
RS.
The divisions offered at Championships are Novice,
Intermediate, and Advanced. These divisions may be adjusted depending on the
number of entries. Division-specific requirements are as follows;
Novice
11 yrs. or
older D-3 Flat and up
Intermediate
12 yrs. or older C-1 Flat and up
Advanced
13 yrs. or
older C-1 Flat and up
Stable Manager As
above
D-3 HM and up
According to the 2013 newsletter, only one rule has
changed this year. Each horse is now required to have (2) five-gallon wash
water buckets with sponges for cooling off due to problems in the past with not
enough buckets to cool off all of the horses. In Virginia, this will be
increasingly important because the weather is generally very hot.
Australian Stock saddles are allowed at the Intermediate and Advanced levels.
New Derby polocrosse helmets are also allowed, as long as they are worn with
the face mask attached. ASTM/SEI certified helmets must be worn if a face mask
is not being worn.
The officials for Championships this year are;
Sandy Wright - Organizer
Eric Wright - Scorer
Kathy Barker - Technical Delegate
Jessie Barker - Secretary
Susan Poulton - Chief HM
Dalles Lee - Assistant HM
David Thornton - organizing umpires
