A compilation judging analytics from open aged events in reining officiating from 2023 are analyzed and discussed. What do the results from this year's NRBC and 100X Stales say? This episode compares the 2023 judging trends to the first half of 2024 open aged events.
The depth of Open competition continues to drive forward and set new trends and norms for the industry. This episode looks at the numbers set by 13 major events and over 2000 open entries in 2023 to create the standard. We slice and dice the numbers and scores including penalties applied and not applied along with the maneuver evaluation decisions made. We look at the go rounds and finals of the 2024 NRBC and 2024 100X Cowtown Classic Stakes.
A new athletic discipline enters the market: we look at and discuss the new Ranch Fuel Super Slide as a new officiating scale is introduced. We share and explain the stats of the officials performance and error rate in the open aged event.
