5. Score sheets
   • Team administrators or individual team members registered with Dressage Anywhere can download score sheets and check the scoreboard to view overall class results. The percentages of the riders with the three highest scores will be averaged to give the overall Team score – check the Team Challenge scoreboard to see how your team has scored against other teams taking part.
   • The Team with the highest average score in any one month during the period of the challenge wins the Team Challenge!
