District Rules

RULES ~~~ NBHA OK 9 ~~~ 2012

District Rules are to hopefully clarify what is expected of each member.
Last year was another good year for your District -> OK9...
Let’s work together to make 2012 even better.

National Rule Section B-14:  A contestant’s current NBHA membership card or a copy of current
membership applications must be presented to the show secretary prior to entering an NBHA sanctioned show.

1.Jackpots will be run as 5-D Races (½ split). The cost per run will be $28 (with the exception of race locations requiriing insurance, cost will be $30).  Entry Cards will need to be filled out and signed at each race (these help us to verify if you were at a race and which classes you entered).    You must ride as drawn.
  • Should we take a check from you; consider it a privilege...
  • There will be a $50 fee on any returned checks
  • It is your responsibility to pick up you winnings ($3 will be deducted for mailing payout)
  • Winnings will be mailed at the end of the year (if we have an address with the $3 deduction mentioned above).
  • Exhibitions:  Sixty (60) second time limitation on exhibitions ($5 fine for over the 60 seconds).

2.Each member will pay a $4 fee in addition to the open fee for time to roll over and count for points to count in Youth or Senior class.
Youth classes will be run as 4-D Races (½-½-1 split).
Senior Classes will be run 4-D (½-½-1 split).
For your information ~ the $4 breakdown:  
$1 - State $1 - District $2 – Awards
Races co-sanctioned with other events will also require a $4 open fee.
For your information ~ the $4 breakdown:  
$1 - State $1 - District $1 – Awards$1 - Timer

3.Members must compete 5 barrel races in order to receive year-end awards.  We are having 14 races this year.   We need help with barrel setters, announcing, computer, time keeping and entries at the races.   You will receive a free exhibition for working at a race.  After you work… pick up an exhibition coupon at the announcer’s stand  (use as an after exhibition @ the current race or free exhibition @ a following race).  You must pick up your ticket the day of the race.  It will be too difficult to keep a running record of workers.

4.Tie breaker for awards will be determined by the best attendance at races competed in during the year (1 point for each race attended).

5.If a member wants to receive Year-End Awards at the district level the Ad/Nomination Fee must be paid in each class they will be competing in for district prizes.  The First Class Fee is $50; $35 for the second class.  (If you compete in both Open & Youth or Senior classes and want prizes in both classes the fee is $85).  This fee must be paid before April 1, 2012.  We set this date in order to give us an idea as to how much money we have for our Year-End Awards.  (Remember this rule applies at the District Level ONLY… You receive National Points rather this District Fee is paid or not).

  • If paid after April 1, 2012 any point earned prior to that date paid will  not be  counted (after April 1, 2012 points will not count for district awards until the district fee is paid).
  • You may run as many horses per class as you want ~ (National Rule Section C -9: A competitor with multiple entries will receive points only for the highest placing horse  per division).
  • New members are allowed until the next race after joining to pay the Ad/Nomination Fee if they choose to compete for year-end awards.
  • If you are having a family or financial problem, you can talk to  me about these fee.

6.Awards will be awarded per class per division.
a.Open       – 4 Divisions   -    Up to Five (5) places
b.Senior     – 4 Divisions   -    Up to Three (3) places
c.Youth      – 4 Divisions   -    Up to Three (3) places


7.Race Disputes… points, time or something concerning the race.  Please do so in writing before the beginning of the next race.    This will give us plenty of time to get the problem corrected, without making it difficult to correct.  (National Rule Section B-10: A competitor with a race dispute has 14 days, from the date points are posted, to bring any discrepancies to the attention of the District Director.)

8.If there is a problem, concern or suggestion, please make these in writing.  That will give me an opportunity to review the problem, check the official NBHA rules and get with our state director to help me make a fair (according to NBHA Rules) decision on the issue.

9.You may call me at 405/247-2772...  I do not go through the caller ID, so if you want me to return your call you will need to leave a message.
