Dress Code/Western Attire: WPRA standard dress code: Long sleeve shirts that are collared and have either buttons, snaps or full length zipper on the front of the shirt, jeans without holes, western boots and western hat or helmet (*a fedora is NOT a cowboy hat.)**Hats lost in the arena will result in a $10 fine. You will need to visit the office to collect your hat and pay your fine.

Sportsmanship: All contestants and their family members are expected to display good sportsmanship at all times.  All decisions by the race director are FINAL. Absolutely zero abuse of any horse will be tolerated. The minimum fine for abuse will be $100 and you may be asked to leave the race. Abusive behavior will be determined by the race operators. No electronic training devices are allowed in the arena for any reason. 

Releases/Draw Outs: After entering, contestants may be refunded 70% of their fees by presenting a vet or doctors release to the race director BEFORE their run. Horse substitutions must be made prior to your run in the show office.  

Qualified Run: To receive a time YOU MUST MAKE A COMPETITIVE RUN! This means, if you pull up, you will not receive a time. 

Big Drag:  Big drags will take place every 30-35 riders, we will determine and announce/post prior to race start.

Knocked Over Barrels:  Results in a no time.

Electric Eye:  If the electric eye fails during a rider's run the barrel racer has the CHOICE of a re-run or receive a refund. It is up to the barrel racer to contact office staff and make it clear as to if they will take the re-run at the end of the race on clean ground or receive a refund. A knocked down barrel during a run in which the timer fails will not be carried forward. The re-run will have a "clean slate" run.

Awards:  Contestants MUST be present AND in dress code for the award presentation on Sunday after the race, no exceptions allowed...if a  contestant is NOT present his/her award will be forfeited, thank you.

Average:  Method 1: This method uses a pretty standard rule for averaging, which is: “To figure the average of 2 races: 1st Division = Contestant with the Fastest Combined time. 2nd Division = Fastest Combined Time + 1 second. 3rd Division = Fastest Combined Time + 2 seconds. 4th Division = Fastest Combined Time + 4 seconds.
