Year-End Points and District Awards
You must be an NBHA Member and declare "TX05" as your district to be eligible for Year-End District Awards.
You must meet the TX05 Member requirements.
There are no minimum amount of races needed to qualify for end-year awards.
There are no maximum amount of races included in year-end points, all points will count towards year-end awards.
Awards and amount of awards are still to be determined.
World Qualification
-Under the NBHA's Open 5D (5 divisions) format, all horses and riders, regardless of age, sex, ability or experience, run in the same class. Although Directors have the choice to do the payout, results and year-end awards in a 4D format, points for the year-end World Championship qualifier list must always be formatted in a 5D. The five divisions are decided by time intervals based on the times actually run. Whichever district(s) sanction the show, their district members’ fastest time will set the time for their district points.
-The NBHA awards points to members IN ALL DIVISIONS on a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis for first place through fifth place. In an event of a tie, the award point for the tie placings are added together and divided up evenly.
-Competitors may ride as many horses as they wish in each class. However, the competitor with multiple entries will receive points only for the highest placing horse within each division.
-Point totals are based on rider only. Each rider will have only one-point total for each division regardless of how many horses are shown throughout the year.
-Each district may qualify for the world show ten (10) total riders in each division of each class (Open, Youth, Teen, and Senior) unless applicable ties cross over the 10th place position. Ties consume the number of places that there are competitors, for example, a two way tie with 6 points each for 3rd place then consumes the 3rd and 4th place collectively.
-A competitor may qualify only one entry for the NBHA World Championships in each of the Open, Youth, Teen or Senior 5D divisions. Refer to the NBHA RULE BOOK Section C for complete rules on points.
-For Youth World qualifiers, the year-end points must be broken down into Youth and Teen. Ages are: Youth 12 and under; and Teen 13 to 18, as of January 1 of the competition year.
