If one person places more than once in a division, they receive the 5 base points for each placing. but only the bonus points for the highest placing in that division. Runs with penalties will not receive any points.

We award a scholarship to a High School graduation senior who has been competing in our barrel racing series for a minimum of 6 races the last two years thru the first weekend of March. This will be a cash scholarship to use as you see fit. The check will be made out to the winning applicant AND either one parent or guardian. The scholarship panel will consist of 5 impartial people that are not familiar with our barrel racers and applications will be submitted to the panel with a number only.
