For 2016 only, AQHA has also changed the qualifying rules. To be eligible to enter the 2016 Level 1 Championship, an exhibitor must:
• Be Level 1-eligible in the class they wish to enter as of January 1, 2015.
• Be an AQHA member at the time of entry and at the time of the 2016 Level 1 Championships.
• If a competitor graduated out of Level 1 in the 2015 show season, he or she is still invited to enter the event.
• If you won a Level 1 championship in 2015, you cannot show in that same class at future Level 1 Championships, including the 2016 Level 1 Championships. However, you can still show in that class at AQHA shows (excluding the Level 1 Championships) until you meet the point level. You can still show at the Level 1 Championships in any other class(es) for which you are still Level 1-eligible. Learn more about AQHA Rule SHW245.3 in the AQHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations.
Level 1 eligibility is determined on a class-by-class basis. Exhibitors are encouraged to use the online level verification system at services3.aqha.com/leveling to determine if they are Level 1-eligible in a particular class.
Rookie classes will be offered for exhibitors and horses that are eligible for the Rookie level as of January 1, 2015, for the AQHA Central, AQHA West or Nutrena East Level 1 Championships. The horse you intend to bring for the class must also be Rookie eligible.
Call AQHA Customer Service at 806-376-4811 or visit services3.aqha.com/leveling to verify your and your horses’ Rookie eligibility. AQHA recently announced the qualifying methods for the 2017 AQHA West, AQHA Central and Nutrena East Level 1 Championships. View the 2017 qualifying methods.
