5D format in the Open. Entry fee is TBD. You must compete on the same horse in IT’S DRAWN ORDER in all rounds to be in the average (running a horse out of the drawn order will result in disqualification of that run and no refund of fees). Entries will be via www.saddlebook.com only.
Junior Race: $35/round (only two rounds)
All Side Pots (except helmet): Entry fee $TBD (includes Senior, Youth, Age 18-49, Futurity, Derby & Helmet).
Year-end awards will be presented to the TOP 30 points finishers. These point values will be based on the placings before the Finals begin, therefore the Finals do not have any bearing on the year-end awards. Top contestants must be present during the ceremony in full western attire to receive their awards. If you cannot attend the ceremony, arrangements need to be made prior to the Finals with the WCBRA office via email.
Average awards to 10th in each division will be presented after the conclusion of the event. There is no entry fee into the average. As long as a contestant completes all rounds on the same horse, they are eligible for the average awards. All contestants receiving an average award must be present during the ceremony in full western attire. More details to follow.
WESTERN ATTIRE
Mandatory long-sleeved, buttoned-up, collared shirt, TUCKED IN. Western pants, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat or helmet. Hats lost in the arena will result in a $10 hat fine, however, hats lost before the first barrel will result in a $25 fine. Any dress code violations will result in a $50 fine. Please dress professional, as photos will be taken and displayed in various publications.
ADDITIONAL ARENA RULES
The main arena will be set up with a holding pen and alleyway. A Race Official will control and police the holding pens. Instead of disqualifications, we will be implementing a fine system as follows; Riders are expected to load the holding pens during the drag (5 riders that are up and their helper if needed). The holding pen gate will be closed when the barrels are set and the tractors are parked. Riders and helpers NOT in the holding pens when the gates are shut will be fined an additional entry fee ($100 fine) but allowed to run if they choose to run, so long as they’re drawn position has not been passed. Riders will have 60 seconds to enter into the alleyway and cross the eye after their name is called. Failure to start your pattern will result in a $50 fine. After 90 seconds, racers will be disqualified for that one round if they have not crossed the eye. If your horse is hard to start, please have a plan. Help, in full western attire, is allowed in the holding pen, but no person or horse is allowed past the plane of the gate into the alleyway except those that are up. You must be mounted when entering the alleyway. No dismounting in the alleyway for any reason. Failure to follow the holding pen rules will result in a fine of a minimum $50. All decision of the Race Official will be final.
SPORTSMANSHIP
All contestants and their family members are expected to display good sportsmanship at all times. Foul language, misconduct or abusive comments spoke to any contestant, spectator, staff member or volunteer will result in a minimum $100 fine. The maximum penalty will result in immediate disqualification and no refund of entry fees. Parents and contestants, please realize that any abuse via social media, emails, face-to-face or otherwise will result in a fine or disqualification. All decisions by the race director are FINAL. Disqualified contestants due to abusive behavior must leave the premises immediately. No level of abuse will be tolerated at any time. Excessive whipping, spurring, jerking, inhumane equipment, etc., will result in a minimum fine of $100 and/or disqualification by a race official. No electronic training devices of any kind allowed, no exceptions.
