Judging without a writer and/or judges being obliged to write their own scores is considered by Dressage NSW to be unacceptable and is in breach of EA National Dressage Rule G.8.1. which reads in part:     “each judge must be allocated a capable writer”.

Judging without a writer and scoring without comments is not condoned by DNSW and this position is supported by ENSW and the EADC.  Dressage NSW views this as an undesirable judging practice and strongly recommends that judges reconsider any invitations where they have accepted to judge under these conditions.
