How many marks is an error of course under Dressage Ireland rules?
Under Dressage Ireland 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. FEI tests ridden under these rules use the deduction printed on the test sheet. That is the rule in the Dressage Ireland Rule Book, Rules 6.5.15 / 5.16 (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 180, which is 1.11 percentage points off the final score.
