World Show Qualification Point Levels

The points required to qualify for the 2013 World Championship shows will remain the same as the qualifying points required for the 2012 shows.

• Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show, qualifying period May 1, 2012 - April 30, 2013, view Ford Youth World qualifying points
• Adequan Select World Championship Show, qualifying period June 1, 2012 - May 31, 2013, view Adequan Select World qualifying points
• Bank of America Amateur World Championship Show, qualifying period August 1, 2012 - July 31, 2013, view Bank of America Amateur qualifying points
• AQHA Open World Championship Show, qualifying period August 1, 2012 - July 31, 2013, view AQHA Open qualifying points

Points earned in Intermediate/Progressive- and Open-level classes will count toward 2013 AQHA world championship qualification; in other words points earned in Intermediate or Progressive classes will carry the same weight as points earned in Open-level classes.
 
Separate Intermediate/Progressive finals will not be held at the 2013 shows, but top-placing Intermediate- and Progressive-eligible entries will be recognized during the class finals. Recognition of the top three Intermediate exhibitors and Progressive horses in each world show class will replace the previous Intermediate awards. You will recall, Intermediate awards were presented to the top three exhibitors who had never been in the top 10 at a world show in the particular class in which they were competing. Now, Intermediate and Progressive awards will be based on level eligibility.
 
The Intermediate and Progressive world show awards are incorporated with the new AQHA leveling program, which went into full implementation January 1. You can learn more about the leveling program at www.aqha.com/leveling.
