* 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.
