How many marks is an error of course under British Dressage rules?
Under British Dressage rules the first error of course costs 2 marks, the second a further 4, and the third error means elimination. Marks come off the sheet total before the percentage is worked out. PSG to Grand Prix sheets use the FEI rule printed on the sheet: elimination on the second error. That is the rule in the BD Members' Handbook, Rule 129 (Penalties for errors of course) (2026, effective 1 Jan 2026), and the calculator applies it automatically. Rules get revised, so where your rule book or sheet differs, the sheet is right. On this sheet that first error costs 2 marks out of 290, which is 0.69 percentage points off the final score.
