All remaining entries will forward on to the Annual Awards Banquet where a final set of items are available to be won.
Ties
The award will go to the rider with the greatest number of first place points. If the tie remains, the award will go to the rider with the greatest number of second place points and so forth down the placings until the tie is broken. If the tie cannot be broken after considering all placings, the tie will remain and both riders will receive the award. Ties for Rider of the Year and Horse of the Year will be broken with the same method.
