TD Talk-Competition Evaluations

As a competitor at USEF/USDF shows, you have the ability to "score" show management and competition officials after the show. It's your turn to judge the judge or rate the management. After all....dressage shows are a customer service business and you are the customer.....therefore your opinion matters!!

USEF publishes two evaluation forms on their website. These evaluations for show management as well as show officials are available here. Then click on the Evaluation Forms.

PLEASE fills out these forms when you get home. It doesn't take long. Don't feel like you have to fill them out ONLY when there was a big problem. Fill them out when things are bad, fill them out when things are mediocre and fill them out when things are wonderful. USEF does not have the ability to police each and every show and/or official. They need the help of competitors to know how things are going. If you felt a judge did a great job, write that on your evaluation. If you felt like the TD was an over-bearing fruitcake, write that on your evaluation. Without feedback from competitors, USEF has no way of knowing about rogue judges or exceptional judges. They have no way of knowing that a competition's license should be reconsidered.

You pay a lot of money at a recognized show. Be sure that your voice is heard!!
