International Stairway Series

Points will be awarded to horse/rider combinations placed 8th = or higher on the following scale;
(1st = 12 points), (2nd = 9 points), (3rd = 8 points), (4th = 7 points),
(5th = 6 points), (6th = 5 points), (7th = 4 points), (8th = 3 points)
Horse/rider combinations placed equal will share equally the total points attributable to the combined placings (for example, four riders placed 4th equal receive 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 divided by 4 = 5.5 points each).

In the event of equality of League Points at the end of the Series the highest placed competitor on equal points in the last qualifier (Royal Berkshire) will be the winner of the League.

The eight highest placed horse/rider combinations on the League table following the last qualifier at Royal Berkshire will receive bonus Rider Ranking points to the value of:  1st £10,000,   2nd £8,000,  3rd £7,000,  4th £6,000,   5th £5,000  6th £4,000,  7th £3,000, 8th £2,000.  
NB.  These are bonus Rider Ranking points to the value of the sum shown above and not cash awards.
