We will pay 10% to each event example: of the 80% payback 10% will go to the fastest times on 2 in the breakaway roping, 10% will go to the barrel racing fastest times on 2 runs, 10% will go to the mounted shooting fastest times on 2 runs. Added monies plus the 70% will go to the overall average or aggregate on all 3 events for payback.

All event points and monies will be gender split. Ladies will not compete against the men.

In the case that we will have more than one arena available we will run each event simultaneously depending on number of contestants.

There will be 2 go-rounds minimum for each event. Depending on locations and time constraints we will have a short go. (2 rounds and a final)

We will be keeping track of points and monies won for each category to determine the year end superhorse champion. We will also have year - end awards for each category for the high point breakaway horses, barrel racing horse, and shooting horse. Points and monies won will be available on-line for tracking.

We will be keeping track of points and monies won for each rider as well.

Due to the possibility of ownership changing, all points and monies are retained by the horse. In the case of the rider changing horse in the year, points and monies start over. Horse must have competed at 50% of competitions to compete at Finals.

Points will be given down thru 10^th place in each category and for the overall as well. There may only be 5 places paid but you will receive points down thru 10^th.

Should your horse become injured, dies, or is sold before, on the way to, or prior to event starting you may substitute, or replace with another horse. After Superhorse event has started, no vet draw outs. Note: all points earned on the substituted or replaced horse will be tracked for year-end prizes and awards separately.

There will is a point system implemented for each respected category to help determine year-end winners. We will be awarding prizes for the top 5 horses in each of the 3 categories.

The year-end Superhorse Champion will be a cumulative of total points for all categories at all events sponsored by the Superhorse Championship.

We have a Amateur division and a Pro division to each gender. The Amateur division consists of the horses registration with AQHA or respected breed association to be in the rider-owners name, this will be enforced! The Pro division will be for the horse and rider to be different (i.e.; Trainer).
