Only SCDA members will be eligible to gain points in the Scottish Points league. For points to count, the member's SCDA subscription must have been paid prior to the event.

Points will be awarded from 6 points for first place to 1 point for 6th place.

If there are fewer than 6 SCDA members in a class, the maximum points awarded for 1st place will equal the total number of SCDA competitors in that class.

The placings of competitors who are not SCDA members will be disregarded, and the points adjusted accordingly, to only include SCDA members for the purposes of calculating the standings in the points league.

The maximum number of events that will count towards a member's points league placing is 3 less than the total number of Scottish Points events which take place that year. A competitor's best placings will be counted if more than the maximum number of eligible events have been completed.

A member's points will count irrespective of which horse or pony they are driving in a particular class. If a member competes in a different class, then separate points will be awarded for each class.
