Compulsory elements could be isolated and scored separately, and collective marks for technical merit and artistic impression could also be added in as part of each judge's total score.
In the GPS, submission scores were less correlated with individual movements than the other collective marks.
All 4 collective marks correlated with each other significantly (P < 0.001).
In Fédération Equestre Internationale dressage competition, collective marks are awarded across four domains immediately after each performance.
The 4 collective marks include: (1) paces; (2) impulsion; (3) submission; and (4) the rider's position and seat; correctness and effect of the aids (rider signals).
We also examined the effect of judge location and used Pearson correlation coefficients to explore relationships between collective marks and test-movement scores.
Collective marks are designed to summarize the performance of horse and rider and must reflect the qualities of the entire performance.
A REML analysis across both competitions showed all collective marks were significant in predicting final percentage scores but submission (F = 31.27) made the least significant contribution (paces, F = 61.3; impulsion, F = 69.77; RPS F = 53.01; P < 0.001 for all values).
According to founder and "Creative Director" of the collective, Mark Herlihy, the soundtrack project began with Herlihy's friend, Pete Jacobs, whom he met at a gig, five or six years previously.
The announcement that Smith was to take over from David Tennant as the Doctor was greeted by the nation with a huge collective question mark.
