**If over 351 entries, additional finals qualifiers may be added at the discretion of GFB productions.
Example – if Bobby Barrel Racer qualifies his horse “Lightning” for the showdown finals round in the 1st go in the 1d and then comes back in the 2nd round and has a slower run and places in the 2d (or again in the 1d), he will still win money for the round, but he will not receive an additional qualification spot. We will advance to the next person to fill qualifiers as needed.
CONSOLATION ROUND
ANY OPEN entry not qualifying for the FINALS will go into the draw for the consolation round. A contestant may qualify multiple horses for the Showdown finals, but a horse and rider combination may qualify only once for the Showdown Round. Consolation round entries can not be switched/swapped with other riders. Same horse/rider qualification will run in consolation round.
YOUTH/SENIOR SHOWDOWN
Youth and Senior will be a 2 go round format. Class payout will be for each go round.
50% of total added money for each class will payout in each round. ($500 minimum per go)
Championships will be awarded (no payback on the avg) based on the AVERAGE of your 1st and 2nd go time.
Youth/Senior 1st go round will draw WITH the Friday Open 1st go.
If you are entered in the Open, your time will automatically roll-over into the youth/senior class.
**If you are only entered in the youth or senior, you will still draw WITH the open.
**You will be noted as YO or SO and will then only count towards the class you are entered in. The YOUTH /SENIOR SHOWDOWN ROUND (2nd go) will run Saturday morning.
Youth and Senior entries will draw together (This helps us accommodate spacing out of those with multiple horses.)
There is NOT a final for the youth or senior class. It is 2 go rounds + average awards.
PEE WEE - 2 Go Rounds
Unassisted riders will be placed before assisted riders.
Down barrels and broken patterns will be stated as such and not be eligible for payback in the class. All riders will receive a prize for participating.
