 getSW point, etc.  It is possible a single horse/rider team could end up
 with 150 pts in the W or 200 pts in the SW, or whatever.  It really
 wouldn't matter how it was calculated as long as it was consistent.

I don't agree with you on this one.  I live in the mountain region, but ride 
in the central, and sw regions.  That would split my points between three 
different regions, and if I go to Canada or Virginia they would be split even 
further.

The overall points are the ones that count towards the National Awards and 
that is the way it should be.  Your regional points do not count towards them 
now.

Nothing is perfect, but I think that the way the points are handled now 
should stay they way they are.  It is easier for an individual to figure out 
their own points and keep track of them.  

FEI rides are not always Championship rides.  It is too bad that it costs 
more money to hold a FEI ride than a regular AERC ride, we could use more of 
them in the US.

No matter what happens to the points, I will still be there riding.
