Can someone give me a quick (or not so quick) run down of the different sanctioning bodies involved in professional and semi-professional barrel racing? We have a couple local round up clubs around here, but I feel like after I've gone to a couple play days for exposure I might enjoy some more competitive events, and to my understanding most sanctioned rodeos require you to be a member. But I could be wrong, and don't mind being corrected either.

There is an Open race at Okmulgee behind the Travel Plaza on Wednesdays.
SBRA - Sooner Barrel Racing Association OCA - Oklahoma Cowgirls Association BBR - Better Barrel Races NBHA 02 - Barrel Bashes Tri-K - OKC Area
There are also Rodeo Associations: ACRA - American Cowboys Rodeo Association CRRA - Cowboys REgional Rodeo Assocation IPRA - International Professional Rodeo Association These Rodeo Associations do not require memebership, but you do have to call in and you will be charged a $10 non-member fee. If you plan on going a lot it is cheaper just to buy the membership.
FAcebook is the best place to keep up. you can friend me or anyone from the area will see events they are intereseted in.

Bailey Productions in Spiro.
Inola is running a trailer series.
Checotah is running on Thursdays.
Natural Dam in Arkansas runs all the time, not too far from you.
Meeker runs all the time.
You're in a hotspot.
