How many marks is an error of course under USDF rules?
Under USDF 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. National tests. FEI tests and freestyles ridden under USEF rules follow their own printed rules. That is the rule in the USEF Rulebook DR122.5 (USDF-recognized competitions run under USEF rules) (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 160, which is 1.25 percentage points off the final score.
