How many marks is an error of course under British Riding Clubs rules?
Under British Riding Clubs 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. That is the rule in the BRC Members' Handbook, Rules D1.9.1-D1.9.2 (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 220, which is 0.91 percentage points off the final score.
