SWTPA FINALS – November 17, 2007

 

What to expect

 

 You must have ridden in a minimum of 6 shows to qualify to ride on finals day. 

Saturday, November 17th will be our SWTPA finals day and party. We do not have any other planned party later in the year, so this may be the last time you see some of these people until next year. SWTPA finals day is run like a typical day except the all the classes have added money so if you win a check, it’ll be good.  When we talk about added money, we are talking about $1000 added in almost every class.  EVERYONE who qualified for the finals will be awarded a prize just for making it to the finals.  After each class, the points are calculated and year end prizes are given out for that class based on where you ended up in the year end standings.  Pictures and announcements will take up a few extra minutes between classes, but we won’t have the draw class that day, so that should give us back some time.  Running order will be the same as all shows(minus the draw class).   VINTON Saddles are given out for first place in all the standard classes along with a Champion Gist Buckle.  Gist Buckles are given out for the top 5 places in every class except for the 5 penning, and 3 sorting, where Gist buckles are given out through 10th place.  One Champion All Around(Top Hand) buckle will be given to the top open rider.  Champion and Reserve Champion buckles will be given to the top Amateur and Novice riders in this category.   Other prizes will be given for top places in all the standard classes.  

Entry fees remain the same on finals day, so with that much money added to the pot, everyone should try to ride as much as you can in anything you can ride in.  If you win a check, it will certainly be big.      

SWTPA will NOT be giving away the high point buckle Day prizes on Finals day that we have been giving out all year at our standard shows. 

 All concession stand food will be FREE on SWTPA FINALS day for any of the qualified finalists.  Basically any standard menu items that Spring Creek offers will be given to you at NO CHARGE.  This is a SWTPA exclusive…… another reason SWTPA rocks!   Please don’t abuse this wonderful added benefit.  Everyone will be asked to bring some type of simple dessert to the finals to help supplement the free food(it’s not mandatory).  Things like cookies, pies, cakes, etc….anything that we can put out on the tables and people can munch on throughout the day.  This is a party, so let’s make it fun.
