qualified, third place eligible to compete in Finals) at one of the designated Qualifying Shows in the North Central Series. Horses
receiving 77% or better in a qualifying class are automatically qualified for these in-hand championships, per USDF Breeders
Championships Series Program rules B.12. Horses from a Series not hosting a Final may enter without re-qualifying in the North
Central Series. A horse may qualify for competition in a USDF Breeders Series Final Materiale Championship class by receiving

least two judges (one of whom is a licensed USEF R DSHB judge) will officiate in each Series Final class. Each judge will evaluate
each entry independently. Scribes will be provided for each judge. Winners will be determined by the average of all judges’ scores.
The highest scoring horses will be declared champions and the second highest reserve champions. Horses will be shown individually
on the triangle at the walk and trot, and standing for conformation. Each horse will be evaluated in the same manner. Callbacks are
permitted.
Late entries are allowed for Championship Finals class(es) 2-CYFFM, 2-15BF, 2-17BF, 2-9BF, 2-10BF, 2-3MF, and 2-45MF
without penalty. However, late fee will apply for late entry to Qualifying class on Saturday. Horses may qualify on Saturday for the
finals on Sunday. For finals classes, Owner must be USDF Participating Member (include number) or Business Member (be sure
correct Business Name is listed as Owner). Horse must have USDF Lifetime Horse Registration (include number). Show

horses are requested to tell the warm up steward. Horses not complying with these stipulations may be eliminated, at discretion of
Show Management. Owners with multiple horses in a single class must provide sufficient handlers for each entry so as to not delay
the class.
