who are forced to go to the show and be good all day
just because someone else in their family loves Rodeo Horse Racing.
Now they can have something
FUN to do
and can even "win" some prizes.

Details:
Cost: $25 for all 7 events or $4 per event
Awards: Ribbons for each rider.
(This class is not a contest of speed.  There are no winners or losers.  All riders receive the same award)
(*Note: This class is for beginners.  Riders breaking into a canter
or lope will be disqualified and not receive an award in that event.)

Future Open Class
For the riders that no longer need assistance in the arena
but are not quite ready for Open Competition*

Details:
Cost: $25 all day or $4 per event
Number of events: 7
Awards: Ribbons or
buy backs* to 1st in each heat  (no cash awards)
Riders in this class will be eligible to receive normal Year End Awards**

Note* This is a class for beginners who want to go in the arena unassisted
and walk, trot or slow canter through the event.
Hot riders should be entered in the Open Class

** Hall of Fame through Novice times will be awarded as earned

OPEN CLASS
For the rider who wants to give the sport a try
or
the beginning & Intermediate Rider
that wants to get some time on their horse
or
the advanced rider
that rides for the fun and the money

 Details:
Cost: $30 all day or $5 per event
Number of events: 7
Awards: Cash, ribbons or buy backs* 


How you  earn monetary awards:

$1.00 will be set aside for each entry in the Open Class for monetary awards.  When a rider wins a heat they are eligible for the normal day award and they are automatically entered in the run off for the money that has been set aside.  That money will be divided between each heat winner in the run off.  Thus if a rider wins three heats in the run off they will earn three times the amount awarded to someone winning one heat in the run off.   If a rider wins two heats in the run off they will win double the amount won by someone winning one heat.

 

For example if the entry fee is $5.00 and there are 30 entries in the class, the run off payout would be $30.  Each of those heat winners in the Open Class will be entered in the run off for the cash pay out.   In this case there would be 8 riders running in two heats and those heat winners would then run against each other in the final heat.  Thus one rider would win two heats and one rider would win one heat.  The $30 would then be divided by three and you would be paid $10 for each heat won.
 

**Buy Backs
1st Place $1.25 credit on purchases at the Show Center booth

By popular demand
3-D JACKPOT CLASS

Jackpot details:
Cost: $10
Awards:
 

The payout to the riders depends on the number of riders entered in that event.  The entry fees for the event are added together and multiplied by 70%.  This figure becomes the event payout.  The fastest time run becomes the winner and receives 50% of the pot.  The 2-D rider gets 2nd place money of 30% and the 3-D rider gets 3rd place money of 20%.

 

For example if there are 30 entries, the event payout would be $210.   ($10 times 30 = $300 times 70% = $210) 
 

Times Win Receive $$
Fastest 1st Place $105.00 
the 2-D rider 2nd Place $63.00
the 3-D rider 3rd Place $42.00

The 1st Place winner
will be the fastest rider
of the day in the selected event!

The 2-D & 3-D Winners
will be the rider coming closest to the fastest time in the event plus the 2-D or 3-D factor.

To determine the 2-D and 3-D winner, we add the indicated number of seconds
to the fastest time and draw a line on the computer printout at that point.
  The next rider down on the list (if entered in the jackpot) will be the winner.

 

Event 2-D 3-D   Event 2-D 3-D
Single Pole 2 4   Single Pole Plus 3 6
Poles I 3 6   Bow Tie 3 6
Short Poles 3 6   Short Poles II 3 6
Speed Barrels 2 4   Speed Barrels 2 2 4
Figure 8 2 4   Figure 8 II 3 6
Poles Keyhole 2 4   Bucket Ball 2 4


The RANDOM Factor
The Jackpot event will not be selected until the show is over!
At that time we will ask a rider to draw one of the days events out of the hat.
We will then ask the computer to give us a printout of everyone entered in the jackpot,
give us those riders  times in the selected event
and using the above formula
determine 1st, 2nd & 3rd place.

No will know until the end what the Jackpot Event was
Every hot rider will have a shot at winning 1st place money
and
Every other rider will have a shot at winning 2nd & 3rd place money

(If you enter the Jackpot but do not ride the selected event - your out of luck.)
