Ridecamp: RE: [RC] BC award for 11th place?

I know I recently tied for 9-10-11th place and was told not to show for
BC... bummer.... :(

Don't know that I would have received this award, but I had a good chance.

I hope the ride managers and vets out there agree?

If they are tied for 10th place, then they are not tenth and eleventh--they
are both tenth place, and there IS no eleventh place.  Yes, when there is a
tie for 10th, both 10th place horses are judged.
