Riders may not compete on the same horse in the same race at the finals.

You must compete on the same horse in IT’S DRAWN ORDER all 3 days 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).

YEAR-END AWARDS
Year-end awards will be presented to the TOP 25 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. The awards banquet will immediately follow the conclusion of go round 1 on Saturday. Top 25 contestants must be present during the ceremony in full western attire to received their awards. If you cannot attend the ceremony, arrangements need to be made prior to the Finals with the WCBRA office via email.

FINALS AVERAGE AWARDS
Average awards to 10th in each division will be presented at a set time shortly after the conclusion of the third go round on Monday. There is no entry fee into the average. As long as a contestant completes all three rounds on the same horse, they are eligible for the average awards. All contestants receiving an average awards 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 results 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 there 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 results 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 spoken to any contestant, spectator, staff member or volunteer will result in a minimum $100 fine. 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.

The vendor applications for the 2018 West Coast Barrel Racing Finals are due on July 2, 2018. If you are interested in becoming a vendor there will be a $100 late fee plus all additional Vendor rates that apply to you after the July 2nd deadline if approved.
