Section 15: Points Accumulation - All Series

Points will be awarded in each division based on placings, if classes are offered and stated as giving awards:
- 1D-5D Open
- 1D-4D Youth or 1D-3D
- 1D-4D Adult or 1D-3D
- 1D-4D Senior or 1D-3D

- Beginners Class (no points, but must maintain 50% attendance)
Points will be awarded in descending order from 10 points through 1 points to the respective placings, 1 - 10 riders in each division, to members ONLY. Non-members will be pulled out of the points placings. Divisions will be based off of the fastest time of the class, whether it is a member or non-member.
You may only place ONCE per division. So if you are running multiple horses, and they both run in the 2D, you will be given the points on the highest placing horse. If you have a horse run in the 2D and 3D, you will get the appropriate points for each horse.
For the End of Season Standings, a member keeps points only from the division in which they have the highest standing in each class. (Example #1: If you place 1st in the 1D and 1st in the 2D open, you will receive the 1D prize because it is the highest prize and placing. Example #2: You place 2nd in the 1D, but 1st in the 2D, you will receive the 2D prize because it is the highest placing and prize.)
In the event of a tie in points at any point series finals, all ties will be settled by:
- (1) Most Shows Attended
- (2) Most Consistent Division Placing
  - (2a) If contestants have same divisional placing, downed barrels/NT will be assessed, fewest # wins
- (3) All times in the tied division will be added together, and lowest cumulative time wins
- (4) If all of the above are even up, flip a coin
