2008 XL Barrel Futurity Tour Rules

 

Eligibility and Nomination:

Only horses nominated to the XL Barrel Futurity Tour will be eligible for the year-end tour awards program.  Open to five year olds and under, foals of 2003 and after.  All horses running in the Silver & Gold Cup Barrel Futurities will be tour eligible.  Horses not running in the Silver & Gold Cup Barrel Futurities are invited to participate by paying a $65 tour nomination fee.  Horses may be nominated to the tour at any time, however the post mark date on the envelope will determine the start date from which earnings will be counted.

 

Tour Events:

The base list of tour events will be comprised of events from which we have been able to acquire and tabulate results from in the past.  A list of tour events is posted on www.silvergoldcup.com.  Tour events must offer a minimum of two (2) long goes and be a competition limited to futurity age horses either four years old (foals of 2004 or after) and under or five years old and under (foals of 2003 or after).  Futurity producers interested in having their event sanctioned should contact XL Enterprises a minimum of 30 days prior to the nomination deadline to gain sanctioning.  Futurities from which earnings will not be recognized include: 1) Futurities which are a sidepot of a divisional race (i.e. America West, B.B.R., Heartland Tour, D & G, etc.); 2) Futurity competitions which limit number of entries (i.e. BFA Super Stakes, Pro Tour, Champion of Champions, Lance Graves Pro Classic slot races, etc.); 3) Incentive and/or Sidepot purses offered at tour events will not be included in the standings.

 

Tour Standings:

Tour standings will be compiled by XL Enterprises and published on the web site at www.silvergoldcup.com.  Individual horse earnings will be rounded to the nearest dollar.  Should there be a tie for awards at any level, the horse who has placed highest at the most events will be the awards recipient.  Should a tie still exist the awards recipient will be determined by the flip of a coin.

 

Tour Awards:

Awards will be given in two separate age divisions, i.e. high money earning four year olds, and high money earning five year olds.  Therefore, horses in each age division will only be competing for awards with other horses of the same age.  Awards are guaranteed to the Top 10 in each age division, including trophy saddles to the Top 5 in each age division and trophy buckles to the Top 10 in each age division.  A complete list of awards will be posted on www.silvergoldcup.com on or before May 1, 2008.  Awards will be distributed at the 2008 BFA World Championship barrel futurity in Oklahoma City, OK in December, 2008.  Any awards that must be mailed out bill be shipped UPS at the recipients expense.

 

XL Enterprises invites you to stop by our booth at the 2007 BFA World Championship Futurity to view the 2007 Awards!  2008 tour nomination forms will be available at the booth.
