Welcome fellow barrel racer!
We are very excited to have you participate with us this year. Our goal is to offer you a Christian based barrel race
with a family atmosphere. We hope that the things the Lord has laid on our heart to say and do will be a blessing to you. With the beginning of a new year we would like to explain some of our rules.
1. 80% payback of
entry fees - 100% payback on added money
2.
½ , 1/2, 1 sec. splits for
Open 4D and 4D Youth
3. 1 sec. splits for 4D Pee-Wee, 4D Junior class, Open 3D Poles, 3D Classics
Class.
4.
Youth class age is 18yrs. and under,
as of June 4, 2011.
5. Pee-Wee class age is 8yrs. and under, as of June 4, 2011.
6.
Junior class age is 9yrs.-12yrs.,
as of June 4, 2011.
7. Number of places paid out for each D, per class, will
be determined by total paid entries.The more participants
we have, the more places we pay out.
8. Divisions
with a “hole” will be moved up to pay higher divisions, starting with the 1D. Payout will not be moved down.
9.
A knocked down barrel, or broken
pattern will be a no-time. The announcer's judgment is final.
10. If there is a timer malfunction or operator mistake, the participant
who was running during that time will be allowed 1 re-run. (Unless there was a knocked down barrel during their run.)
11.
Books will be open until the last 25
runners.
12. Buckles will be
given in the following classes to each "D" winner : Open 3D Poles, 4D Peewee, 4D Juniors, Open 4D, Youth 4D,
3D Classics, by participation first, then combined with point accumulation during the year. In
each class, at each show, points will be awarded through 5th place in each division, regardless if money was
won or not. Points will be divided as follows: 1st (5 points), 2nd
(4 points), 3rd (3 points), 4th (2 points), 5th (1 point). The Peewee and Junior classes will have additional awards
for other placings, based on money earned in those classes.
13. Yearend awards will be given after the final show in December.
To be eligible for awards you need to participate in 5 out of 7 shows, per horse and rider combination, in each
class you choose to participate in. In the case of a "D" that has no one qualifying for 5 out of 7
shows, it will be awarded to the next highest point earner who attended at least 4 shows. If there is a tie for awards,
it will be given to the participant who won the most money. Multiple entered horses ridden by the same person will be considered
separate in the calculations of participation and points earned.
14. Only one award can be received by each horse and rider combination,
per class. The top award will be given first, regardless of the "D", unless the recipient chooses the lesser
award.
15. If your horse has an injury or severe medical condition that
prohibits you from continuing to run him/her, with a letter from your veterinarian you may substitute with another horse.
During that time, the points you earn and participation will be calculated together as if you rode the same horse.
16. Two or more people cannot ride the same horse in any class
unless they are immediate family members (husband, wife, kids). You may ride the same horse in competition if you are not
family members, but you will not be eligible for yearend awards. No one person is allowed to ride the same horse in a
class, more than once.
17.
We do not have a dress code. We
only ask that you dress modestly. No mid-drifts or halter tops.
18. No alcoholic beverages please.
19. Barrel Racers For Christ
is a non-profit ministry supported by Cedar Creek Missionary Baptist Church. It is solely organized and operated by its staff.
We will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to an awesome 2011 season!
