Foul language, misconduct or derogatory, threats and abusive (this includes arguing) comments spoken to any contestant, spectator, staff member or volunteer will result in a disqualification and possible suspension of being able to compete at PVRA Events. This also includes any abuse of the sportsmanship rules via social media, face to face, email or any type of negative communication will result in disqualification and suspension of membership.
3.Horses are not to be turned loose during the jackpot
4. Arena gates are to remain closed at all times, except when they are being used for entering or exiting the arenas.
Trash: Please pick up all of your trash (and any that you see). Lets leave the facility better than we found it. So we can continue to have races here.
Contestants running multiple horses should remember that the draw is random. Often, the producers will attempt to space out a rider’s horses as a courtesy. This can only be done if you arrive early in the day and complete your entries in ample time so that the producers can attempt to space out your horses. This is done as a courtesy. If you arrive after the open has begun, there will be no guarantee that your horses will be spaced apart. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PRODUCERS.
Draws: YOU are responsible to check the draw that is posted to make sure that you are listed correctly. This is especially important with the Youth. Check to be sure that you are listed properly as a Carry Over or as to run in the jackpot. If you do not notify the office personal of a mistake on the draw BEFORE the jackpot begins in order to make the corrections. You are responsible to make sure the draw is correct.
Draws will be posted at the sign up office and will be read through before the jackpot is to begin.
Payout
We will be using a payout that will ensure the last hole in the 4-D receives
close to their entry fees back. The payout will be a 70% (NBHA type) payout. Results will be posted on social Media on the events page or on one of the Admins Facebook Pages. Will either be same day or promptly the following day.
TIMES, DATES, FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
