Each competitor may then choose to jump one or other of the ‘alternatives’ which form the last obstacle. Any competitor who has incurred four or more faults prior to the last obstacle and who chooses to jump the ‘eraser fence’ and jumps it clear will then have four faults ‘erased’ from his total score for his/her round (i.e. A four fault round prior to the last obstacle will then count as a clear; an eight fault round prior to the last obstacle will be reduced to a four fault total). However, any error incurred whilst jumping the ‘eraser fence’ will be penalised in faults in the same manner as for any normal fence (i.e. a knockdown will incur four faults which will be added to the penalties incurred prior to jumping the ‘eraser fence’).
The choice to jump the ‘eraser fence’ is entirely at the discretion of the individual rider and there will be no signal made to inform the rider whether or not he has incurred faults in his round prior to the last fence.
Penalties for exceeding the time allowed will not be erased.
