The USEA leaderboard and points explanation can be found at https://useventing.com/events-competitions/awards/leaderboard.

In addition to meeting all eligibility requirements and rules of the USEA Leaderboard, horses must have a T.I.P. number by December 31 of the award year to be eligible for the T.I.P. USEA Leaderboard awards. T.I.P. may require owners and riders to provide verification of identification (photographs, microchips, copies of certificates, etc.). Unregistered Thoroughbreds, Thoroughbreds without a T.I.P. number, and Thoroughbreds that are not confirmed as a registered Thoroughbred will not be eligible for the awards. 

Additional information on the T.I.P. USEA Leaderboard Awards is available at https://tjctip.com/About/Eventing. To ensure eligibility for the 2026 award year, Thoroughbred owners and riders should apply for a T.I.P. number at www.tjctip.com by December 31, 2026.

Created and announced in October 2011, T.I.P. recognizes and rewards the versatility of the Thoroughbred through sponsorship of Thoroughbred classes and high point awards at sanctioned horse shows, year-end performance awards, a recreational riding program, and non-competition awards. T.I.P. is funded and managed by The Jockey Club to further support aftercare initiatives. Additional information about T.I.P. is available at tjctip.com and on the T.I.P. Facebook page at facebook.com/tjctip.
