@_alicefinch @jfinchamdukes Poorly, for a jump to be overruled after the comp is over rather than during seems unfair as you’d then be aware of how you may approach your 5 remaining jumps. That said sport is cruel and new tech brings new changes. Can’t imagine the heartache after having a lap of honour
