NCBRA


This year we will be changing the point system in Arizona.  We are committed to being in agreement with the by-laws and rules of NCBRA so we are using their point system this year.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email CLogan7518@aol.com

DIVISION STATUS FOR POINTS AND AWARDS ONLY
1) Year end awards will be given in four divisions for 18 years and over and in four divisions for 17 years and under (age as of January 1st of current year) according to their accumulated points from the year.
2) Points and division positions will be determined using NCBRA member times only.
3) Divisions to be determined minus penalties.
4) At the end of the year, the division that each horse and rider team qualified in the most will determine that team's division status for the year.  At that time, each horse and rider's team points would be compared to the other team points in that division.  The team with the highest number of points in that division would be the champion of that division.
5) In the case of a tie for the division status (the number of times in each division) the division in which the team acquired the most points would be considered that team's division for the year.
6) The 5 highest pointed shows that a horse and rider team participated in will be used to figure their year end division status.
7) If riding more than one (1) horse, the rider must determine the horse to be awarded points at the time of sign-ups.
8) If rider fails to determine which horse is to receive points, the points will automatically go to the first horse in the draw for that rider.
9) Additional horse team fee will be $20 if additional points are requested.

CIRCUIT POINT SYSTEM

1.  Two-thirds of events will be pointed prior to Circuit finals for that year.
2.  The points available for each pointed show will start at:
a. 100 for the 1D. points in increments of 10 down 10 places
b. 80 for the 2D. points in increments of 8 down 10 places
c. 60 for the 3D. points in increments of 6 down 10 places
d. 40 for the 4D. points in increments of 4 down 10 places
3. The fastest member's time would receive the highest points available for that show,
4. The number of contestants riding in that event will determine the number of participation points given at each event. (1 point per entry)
5.  If a rider knocks a barrel or pole down, he/she will only receive points for participation.  He/she will not place in the money jackpots.  Division status for your run will be your time minus your penalty.
6.  All points will be kept as a horse and rider team.  Riders may have more than one horse, each horse that person rides in competition would be considered another horse and rider  team. Should a substitution be necessary see substitution rule below.
7.  The points each team receives will be theirs no matter which division they are in at each show.
8.   For time ties at events the points will be added together and split evenly.
 9.  In the case of a year end tie in the points the Circuit Board will give equal awards
10.  Additional horse team fee will be $20.00.
11. You may only receive points in the circuit you are a member of.  You may member in more than one circuit.
12. Top 5 pointed shows and all participation points from all pointed shows will be taken to Circuit Finals.
