LOCATION
This show will be held at Slightly Mad Stables, near Verona, Italy. As it has yet to receive a proper map, judging will not be very strict when judging this. However, there are a few things to take into consideration.
The indoor arena, where the Six bars, Puissance, Bareback Puissance and Freejumping classes will take place, looks similar to this:
Indoor Arena by Behekzt
However, it will be twice as large and have balconies on both sides where spectators can watch, similar to this, just less fancy:
Indoor Arena 2 by Behekzt

The outdoor arena, where the Match Race, Speed Derby, Maiden Class and Grand Prix will take place is 50x50 large and has a large field followed by a forest and mountains on one side, and the stables on the other. It is surrounded by a large dark-brown fence, seen here:

The stables where your horses can stay will be classical Italian Trulli, each one connected to a separate paddock. A trullo is a small, round building with a rather high roof, like this:

Warm-up for all classes will take place in the field next to the outdoor arena seen here:

JUDGING
Judging will be done by me and my partners in crime; Gnaldaf , Fay-leigh and LundyEmerald 

For judging, a rubric will be used to asses how many points an entry deserves. We will all use the same rubric to ensure fair judgement. There are two seperate rubrics, one for judging the main entry, and one for judging the extra images. 

Main Entry Rubric by Behekzt

Below is the rubric for the extra images. There is a maximum of 3 extra images, each of which can count for 1-5 points. Only extra images linked in the description of the main entry will count towards your endscore.

MAIDEN CLASS
Maiden class 1 by Behekzt Maiden class 2 by Behekzt

The Maiden class is specifically for (young) horses that have not competed a lot yet. It consists of a course with 9 obstacles in the 0.80m-1.00m range. Only verticals, oxers, and one or two triple bars. No water jumps or walls included. It takes place on the first day of the event, around 10am. 
Restrictions: Horses age 3+, only horses who haven't placed first or second in a show yet can enter. Rider age 16+
Jumps can be found here

GRAND PRIX
Grand Prix by Behekzt Grand Prix 2 by Behekzt Grand Prix 3 by Behekzt
The Grand Prix class is the highest level of showjumping. The horse and rider will complete a course of 16 jumps, with heights ranging 1.40m-1.65m. The course includes all types of obstacles; verticals, oxers, triple bars, water jumps (2m width), jokers, walls etc. This class takes place after the Maiden class, and starts at around 1pm.
Restrictions: Horses age 6+ only. Horse must have competed in showjumping before or have at least 2 previous showjumping training pictures. Rider age 16+
Jumps can be found here, the 7 other jumps are up to your imagination :)

SPEED DERBY
Speed Derby 1 by Behekzt Speed Derby 2 by Behekzt Speed Derby 3 by Behekzt

The speed derby is held in the same arena and with the same course as the Grand Prix, only it is based on time. It is basically one big jump-off. Every fault made will add 4 seconds to the combination's time. Jumps ranging 1.20-1.40m. Class will take place on the same day as the Maiden class and the Grand Prix, around 5pm.
Restrictions: Horses age 5+ only. Rider age 16+

SIX BARS
Six Bar by Behekzt Six bar 2 by Behekzt Six bar 3 by Behekzt
Combinations jump six fences set in a straight line. Fences are placed at equal distances apart (+- two strides), the first fence is the lowest and each subsequent fence is higher than the one before. Combinations are eliminated from competition if they knock down a rail. After each round where more than one competitor goes "clean," or is tied for the fewest faults, the six fences are raised in height for each subsequent round until there is a winner. Fences can reach up to 2.00 meters or higher. Class will be held on the second day of the event, at around 10am.
Restrictions: Horses age 6+ only. Horse must have competed in showjumping before or have at least 2 previous showjumping training pictures. Rider age 18+

PUISSANCE
Puissance 2 by Behekzt Puissance 3 by Behekzt Puissance 4 by Behekzt
Puissance is a high-jumping competition similar to Six Bars. The difference is that in Puissance, there is only one jump: an enormous closed wall that can reach well over 2.00 meters. Combinations are eliminated from competition if they knock down a rail. After each round where more than one competitor goes "clean," or is tied for the fewest faults, the wall raised in height for each subsequent round until there is a winner. Class will be held on the same day as the Six Bars, at around 2pm.
Restrictions: Horses age 6+ only. Horse must have competed in showjumping before or have at least 2 previous showjumping training pictures. Rider age 18+

BAREBACK PUISSANCE
Puissance 1 by Behekzt Puissance 5 by Behekzt Puissance 6 by Behekzt
This class is exactly the same as the regular Puissance in how it works, but here, no saddles are allowed! Combinations will be facing the giant wall completely bareback. Class will take place right after the Puissance class, at around 5pm.
Restrictions: Horses age 6+ only. Horse must have competed in showjumping before or have at least 2 previous showjumping training pictures. Rider age 18+

FREE JUMPING
Freejumping 1 by Behekzt Freejumping 2 by Behekzt Freejumping 3 by Behekzt

Free jumping is a discipline that is generally used to asses a young and unridden horse's jumping ability and technique. However, it is a good and fun exercise for horses of all ages, which is why this class is open for all horses! The jump will be a 50cm vertical, followed by an 80cm cross rail and an oxer that starts at 1.20 but can be raised to whatever height your horse is capable. One stride between the vertical and the cross rail, two strides between the cross rail and the oxer. This class will be held on the third and final day of the event, at around 10am.
Restrictions: All horses age 2+ can enter. No rider allowed, handler age 12+, 16+ for stallions

MATCH RACE/DOUBLE SLALOM
Match race 1 by Behekzt Match race 2 by Behekzt
PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THE MATCH RACE IS MANDATORY
The Math Race or Double Slalom is a showjumping race where two identical courses have been set up in a split arena. Two combinations each jump one of the courses, racing against each other to see who can finish first and with the least faults. After pre-registration, you will be matched with one of the other contestants. Collabs are allowed, and featuring the other combination will give you bonus points! If there is an uneven number of entrants, one of SlightlyMad's horses will act as a "ghost horse". Jumps will be in the 1.00m-1.20m range. This class will be held on the third and final day of the event, at around 2pm.
Restrictions: Horses age 4+, riders age 12+
Jumps can be found here
