So I have seen that AQHA has waived all qualifications for the world show because of the COVID and adding Level 1 classes to the World show. Does anyone know what the barrel racing entry fee is? I have looked on the AQHA website and cannot find anything. 

I think last year's entry fee was $500 with a 70% payback. 

Thank you. Wondering if Level 1 will be any cheaper

AQHA levels are based on experience so unfortunately if you and your horse are well experienced and have been there before, you would not qualify for level one.

Level one normally has their own Championships. I don't know if they're having it this year or their not using the leveling system at all since there's no qualifying. My guess is there will be one flat fee. 
I put the stall fees in another post because they can be higher than the entry  fee, depending on how long you stay/ 

I have never competed at a show before. I have read that they are adding Level 1 to the World show this year because of all the cancellations. 

i got a message from AQHA saying Level 1 was canceled. It did not say that it was postponed and was rescheduled at the time of the World Show. I am sure that the classes will be at least the same as Level 2. By the the time you pay the entry fee stall fee office fee drug testing fee it can be quite expensive. Be sure that you know what your total is. And the pay out is probably not 70%. My horse won one class and was third in another. She won about $200 in the class she won and about $2000 in the class she was third in. Various levels pay out less.  That sounds like a lot but after all the fees for two classes, did not clear much. 

Online it looked like Stalls were $140 and Entries for Level 1 were $70. Not sure if that will change with the combination with AQHA World. The Central Level 1 Championship has combined with the AQHA World Show. I don't think they are having Rookie classes, but Level 1 will be there. Just make sure you've got an updated Level 1 Application on file and include the information on there. You can't have won more then $5,000 to be a Level 1 no matter how many points you've earned and you can not hold a Pro Card or train or give lessons. 

I thought the AQHA World Show was always in November at Oklahoma City and the Youth AQHA World Show was in August-September in Fort Worth.  What did I miss?
