| was just wondering how other districts through out the nation handle their senior division - for the past couple of years we have not done any payout for the Senior Division, you just pay $3.00 and qualify for points
we are hoping to change this for the 2014 season and was wondering what other districts do
Also for the Open / Youth / Senior Divisions what are the entry fees yall are paying? |

You can see we have limited amounts of youth and sr however, I "think" the youth and sr pay $25 per run and open is $35 per run. If you run in the open you can "roll" your time to the youth or Sr. as well, except at the district finals, you must enter and run in order to win prizes in whichever division you want. |

| Our senior class has a payout. We usually have around 10-15 entries and it usually pays ok. Entry fees for our district in particular are $16 for Senior, $20 for Youth, and $24 for Open. This covers shows with added money of $250-$500...more than that, and entry fees are raised to help cover cost.
BUT, for 2014 NBHA is now doing district points in 5D format, so this might effect how you handle the classes. (just got this news in our directors newsletter yesterday!) |

| Me and Lucky_H run in the same district! Both our moms run in the Senior class and to be honest i wish they added more money to the seniors class so that last in the 4D at least wins there entries back. They DESERVE it just as much as the youth and open! |

I wouldn't even bother having a senior division with only 3-4 entries |

Location: East Tennessee but who knows?! | The classes here they lowered the age requirement to 40 because they didnt have enough entries. You run for money but you don't get points if you're too young for NBHA senior requirements. 3D, entry fee is usually $25, and theres usually 10-15. I've won money in it several times and it doesn't really bother me about the points. |

Location: La Belle, Mo | I run in Ia district 05 we pay $15 for the Sr class and youth and 25 for the open, we have carry overs for the Sr and youth if you run in the open IF you choose to. We do have pay backs and usually have anywhere from 15-20 people I think in ours but there are usually only about 4 or 5 of us that choose to run a second time if we enter in the open too or just in Srs. We also give awards and another series we run at also donates money to the sr class, as those who run it are in the srs. IF we dropped the age to 40 I think we would have some really ticked off people! As we all had to wait til we were 50 to run!! I know I was probably the only person who celebrated turning 50 with such joy as it gave me another class to show in!! LOL
We also have things to raise funds during the yr for awards and if you want an award every person pays a nomination fee of $10 up front to earn points, no money no points. we also will have auctions of items people will donate at some of the shows, things like bits, halters, headstalls things like that. One weekend we had a fun show after our regular NBHA show and all the entry money went for awards, well except for half the money where we bid on the helper class! We had spouses, parents and others who HELPED with the horses all yr but never ran them. They had a barrel race and you bid on them, half went to the winning bidder of the winner of the class and half the money went to the club for awards. It was a HUGE success with the fun and the money!

Location: In The Land of Cotton | In our district we do not have nor have they ever had a senior class. We do not receive any type of awards either. However, you will get points for NBHA World qualifications. And, I think we have a big district - there are over 125 riders. (Includes Seniors, which we have a lot of). |

Location: Outside of Larryville, KS | one of the above posts said that NBHA was going to a 5D payout in 2014. Is this a national rule? I hadn't heard of it. our district has had 1 show already in 2014 but I have no idea if they did a 5D format because the results are never quick. |

My understanding is NBHA is requiring all districts to go to a 5D format for points but they can choose on the payout. So, if they stay on a 4D payout the people that place in the new 4D will only get points & no money.
Our state director is making all our districts 5D for points AND payout to simplify it. But I guess each district or state can decide whether to stay on the 4D payout or not. |

| We have Senior classes at all our Virginia NBHA shows, both big shows and small shows. Our seniors are getting more and more competitive! Watching the Colonial National Senior class is just about the same competition as at World, and our state show senior classes can be pretty tough. At our finals the fastest run of the weekend was run in the senior class. I don't think the new division pointing system will bother anyone, but I'm wondering how many years before we go to 5D payout and what the reaction will be to that. Right now the senior class is usually about $10 less than an open entry with a 4D payout. My senior win at state finals paid about half of what my open win was, which I thought was pretty darn good considering there was well under half as many seniors running as in the open. |

Location: North MS | I don't know about senior division, but entry fees in one district are as follows- $20 Open, $15 adult and another is $25 for open and $20 for adult.
Oddly the cheaper one is able to give saddles as awards to D winners. |

Perhaps the reason that saddles are able to be awarded in the cheaper entry fee division is because the members in that particular division are more active participants in the fund raising of saddle money. That would be guess, anyway. |
