To be eligible to enter the 2019 Level 1 Championships, an exhibitor must:
• Be Level 1-eligible in the class they wish to enter as of January 1, 2018.
• Be an AQHA member at the time of entry and at the time of the 2019 Level 1 Championships.
• Rookie eligibility is based on the current year of the AQHA Level 1 Championships.
Additionally:
• If a competitor graduated out of Level 1 in the 2018 show season, he or she is still invited to enter the event.
• If you have won a Level 1 class at a Level 1 Championships, you cannot show in that same class at future Level 1 Championships, including the 2019 Level 1 Championships. However, you can still show in that class at AQHA shows (excluding the Level 1 Championships) until you meet the level-up requirements found in SHW245. 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 in the AQHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations.
Level eligibility is determined on a class-by-class basis. Exhibitors are encouraged to use the online level verification system at www.aqha.com/leveling to determine if they are Level 1 or Rookie eligible in a particular class. Walk-trot classes do require exhibitors be Level 1 eligible in their particular class.
About the AQHA Level 1 Championships
