way out west cutting series Rules
Any Age Horse
NCHA Rules Apply
STANDING RULE 13: A weekend/championship class may be offered with multiple go-rounds. When a class has more than the standard go-round, a final must be held. The finals may be working or non-working. In all cases, the number of places paid AND the number taken to any final must be based on the Weekend Mandatory Payout Scale. In the case where a tie results in additional entries advancing to the final, the number of horses advancing will be the number used to determine the payout percentages. Example, a class has 27 entries – which advances 7 entries to the final. After the go-round, the results reflect a 3 way tie for 7th – resulting in 9 horses advancing to the final. The percentages used for the final’s payout is based on 9 instead of 7.
For classes held with one (1) go and a final, working or non-working), the payout must be based on one of the following two ways:
a.) Available purse is split in half. 50% paid in the go round and 50% paid in the final OR
b.) Available purse is paid 100% in the final.
For classes held with two (2) or more goes and a final, working or non-working, the purse must be split evenly between all goes and the final. Example: Two (2) goes and final - purse would be split three (3) ways - 33% to each. For three (3) goes and a final, purse would be split four (4) ways - 25% to each, etc..
Exceptions to the above may be granted to state, regional or county fairs or in the case where a government agency stipulated how its money should be paid.
In the case where a tie results in additional entries advancing to the final, the number of horses advancing will be the number used to determine the payout percentages. Example, a class has 27 entries – which advances 7 entries to the final. After the go-round, the results reflect a 3 way tie for 7th – resulting in 9 horses advancing to the final. The percentages used for the final’s payout is based on 9 instead of 7.
NCHA & PCCHA Approved
All money counts towards NCHA World Finals
Circuit Champions and Reserve Circuit Champions in each class will be crowned by totaling all final scores in the six legs of the series during the finale the AzCHA Octoberfest in Queen Creek, AZ.
