For each qualifying round of race 1, 2, and 3, we will pay the last three riders in the 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D according to this scale:
We will not pay out Bottom’s Up in the 5D in order to encourage contestants to make their best runs possible.
We will not pay out these monies if the contestant will win money from the guaranteed payout. Bottom’s Up checks must be picked up on site. These checks will not be mailed.
Each ALL IN Barrel Race will include an average buckle award for each average D winner. The average will be calculated using the contestant’s Showdown Round Qualifying time and their Showdown Round time. Average will be a 5D with ½ second splits.
Entries are limited depending on scheduling and stall availability. Entries will close at the discretion of ALL IN BARREL RACE management.
Note: If a contestant is buying a $995 entry from another contestant, but does not already have an entry, then the new contestant is required to pay the difference to make this a full entry (each contestant’s first entry in each race is $1036).
Before the draws are posted, horse and/or rider substitutions can be made by emailing info@lvbarrelrace.com. Horse changes will not be accepted prior to November 1, 2020.
After the draws are posted, horse and rider changes can be made onsite at contestant check in for each race. You may substitute for a different horse, but if the horse/rider combination is already entered you cannot change draw position. A horse can only be entered one time in each ALL IN Race. Horse and/or rider substitutions must be made with the contestant office prior to the horse being numbered. A form will be available in the office to process the change.
Once a horse substitution has been made, that horse must be ridden through the Showdown round for that race.
Once a rider substitution has been made, that is the only rider for that horse through the Showdown round for that race.
A contestant may not resell their stalls.
Full dress code is required for all races. All contestants must wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants,
western hat or helmet, and cowboy boots or equestrian sport shoes. Contestants may wear any and all individual sponsors.
There are three different check ins for each race:
You will need to check in with the gate man and be in the holding area five horses before your run. Failure to do so will result in a disqualification. The gate man will be located next to the alleyway going Into the arena. Contestant's name will be called by the gate man three times, if the contestant is not in the arena by the third call, they will be disqualified. Only one horse may be in the alleyway at any time. Remember - the three official calls come from the gate man, not the announcer.
All contestants and their family members are expected to display good sportsmanship at all times. No level of abuse toward any animal at this event will be allowed. Foul language, misconduct, or abusive comments spoken to any contestant, spectator, staff member, or arena personnel will result in immediate contestant disqualification and no refund of entry fees. Contestants are also responsible for traveling companions and their family members.
ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC and its affiliates may photograph and/or videotape each contestant’s individual run. These photos/videos are the property of ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC and its affiliates. Decisions made by ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC management as a result of viewing photos and/or video are final. By entering you consent to the use of your image and/or likeness of your run and participation for promotion of the ALL IN BARREL RACE, ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC, and Group W Productions for any and all future use.
There is a $35.00 service charge on all returned checks from the bank, for any reason. If a check is not replaced with a cashier’s check or money order within 30 days after the check is dated, the contestant will be put on the ineligible list.
Vendor forms can be requested by emailing info@lvbarrelrace.com. Selling of any type of merchandise or professional service on the arena grounds, in stalls, or at trailers without a vendor contract with ALL IN BARREL RACE or Group W Productions is prohibited.
Any time a contestant crosses the starting line, the time will begin.
A no time will be given to the contestant for the following reasons:
If a contestant is in the holding pen and attempts to enter the arena, but is unable to get the horse down the alleyway, then the gate man, after the second call, will give the rider 60 seconds to enter the arena. At the end of 60 seconds, if the horse has not broken the plane at the end of the alleyway into the arena, then the rider will be disqualified. (The reason for this rule is the safety of the contestant, the other contestants in the holding area and the arena personnel.)
If a barrel moved off its marker during competition, the barrel must be reset prior to the next
competitor's run.
Contestants may run any horse, regardless of ownership, but horse can only be entered 1 time in each
ALL IN race.
Only one horse may be in the arena, or alleyway, at any time during competition. (The reason for this rule is the safety of the contestant. Accidents can occur where the assisting horse gets in front of the contestant horse and the contestant horse then decides to go and runs into the assisting horse.)
A horse can be assisted to the mouth of the alley, but persons on foot are not allowed in the alley or the arena once the horse and rider have entered. The gate man will enforce these rules implicitly.
Re-runs shall be granted if the official and backup timer both fail to work properly, unless a barrel has been turned over resulting in a no time. If the barrels are not placed properly on their markers, a rerun shall also be granted without any penalties being applied; however, any penalty occurring on the rerun shall result in a no time.
Contestants who are given a no time, either for breaking the pattern or for knocking down a barrel, may complete the pattern. However, show management may, at its discretion, ask a rider who is taking excessive time to train to leave the arena immediately.
Contestants must attempt to make the fastest run possible. Any obvious attempt to pull up or pace their run may result in the following penalties- 1st offense - Warning, 2nd offense - $50 fine, 3rd offense – placed on the ineligible list for future ALL IN BARREL RACE events.
If any contestants’ times are tied, the prize money will be split equally. We will flip a coin to determine who wins prizes.
To receive your winnings, a completed W-9 must be submitted at check in or payout will be delayed or even forfeited.
Different documents may be required for non-U.S.A. citizens. Prizes will not be mailed.
Fines must be paid prior to collecting winnings.
Any act deemed prejudicial to the best interests of ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC or Group W Productions, LLC may result in the disqualification of the contestant, with no refund of entry fees. The contestant may also be placed upon the ineligible list for future ALL IN BARREL RACE events. These acts may include but are not limited to the following:
Safety is a prime objective at this barrel race. If you have a horse that could be dangerous to yourself, other contestants, or other horses, DO NOT come to this barrel race. Any horse or contestant deemed to be dangerous by the management of ALL IN BARREL RACE, LLC or Group W Productions, LLC will be disqualified and entry fees will not be refunded.
