Reminder to all that the 2011 Registration is  open, so go ahead and join and have some extra fun in 2011!  Remember this program differs slightly from the National program.  Please tell a friend to join as well, the more applicants to better the prizes!  It’s a good idea to read the rules and review eligibility, how points are calculated, fees, and deadlines. The 2011 Forms and Rules are now available on USEA Area II website under Points and Awards Program. Note: 2011 USEA Area II Rules/Points have been improved!  The Points system now follows USEA points, so if you participate USEA Area II Junior/YR or Amateur division, you will be awarded upgraded points in accordance to USEA rules, check out the rules!  Also, there are a few additional exemptions to the in Area II three to one in area rule for 2011. 

Something NEW for all you TB owners/eventers!  We have a very generous USEA Area II contributor, Judith Lamb, she is sponsoring a special TB award (donating a silver plate and beautiful cooler).  If you sign up for the 2011 USEA Area II Year End Awards Program with your TB you are automatically eligible for this Special Award.  A separate points tally will apply for TB's the "smurfs" are equally eligible at all levels (Beginner Novice through Advanced). We will be assigning separate points system from YEA for this Special TB Award - placings 1-6 and assigning points 6-1. We can not thank Judith enough for the very generous sponsorship!

Any questions, let me know. Come on you know you want a nice prize and ribbon!  Just remember July 1st sign up fees go up after July 1st, sorry not my rules...
