HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE SECOND ROUNDS.

SECOND ROUND DRESSAGE.

Every centre can run only one Second Round at each level they have run 1st rounds at over the series, and you need to have qualified at that level to enter. If you have qualified at that level and taken up that Qualification you can choose which centre you wish to go to for your Second Round, it does not have to be the centre you qualified at. It does not matter what test you qualified at in the 1st round it is the level you have qualified at. Centres can choose what tests they run at their 2nd rounds, but you need to enter the level you have qualified at i.e. preliminary, Novice or Elementary.
