Entry
Fees
The NE-4D
understands that payouts will vary for
different events based on multiple
factors such as arena rent, tractor fee,
cost of barrel setters, etc.
We do
recommend a payout of at least 75% of
the entry fee.
More
can be paid out at the producer’s
discretion.
For
example:
if
your entry fee is $30 then $22.50 ($30 x
75%) of each entry goes into the payout.
The
remaining $7.50 is used by the producer
to pay the expenses of the barrel race
(i.e., arena rent, barrel setters, timer
fee, $1 fee per entry to the NE-4D,
etc.).
If you
need more that 25% of the entry fee to
cover yours costs, it is recommended
that you charge an Office Charge or an
Arena Fee and clearly identify it as an
Office Charge or Arena Fee on your entry
form.
In our
experience contestants don’t mind paying
an Office Charge or Arena Fee if it’s
reasonable and clearly identified as
such.
We
understand that producing a barrel race
has specific costs and we want to ensure
your costs are covered.
We
value you and the time and energy you
put into producing quality barrel racing
events.
We
appreciate your approving with the
NE-4D!

| The following information is used for the NE-4D
Finals. As a producer, we recommend that you use
these age guidelines for your event, but they are
not mandatory and we also want you to feel free to
use your own discretion based on your event. 7 and
under for Pee Wees is standard; however you may see
the need for variance in the Youth class age range
and payout whether on a full second split or half
second split |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Open Class |
- The Open Class is open to all competitors
regardless of age. A youth can run in both the
Youth Class and the Open Class. If an event
allows - Youth may carry over from the Youth to
Open OR the Open to Youth that is permissible.
- The Open Class is paid out on a 4D format.
The 1D will be set by the fastest time of the
Open Class. The 2D, 3D and 4D will be determined
by adding 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 seconds to the
fastest time respectively.
|
| Youth Class |
- The Youth class will be run in a 4D format
with one (0.5) second splits between each
division. The 1D will be set by the fastest time
of the Youth class and the 2D, 3D and 4D
divisions being -0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 seconds
respectively off the fastest time. Runs with
penalties (i.e., hit barrel or broken pattern)
will be a "no time".
- Producers are not required to have a youth
class but may if they choose to.
- NE 4D State Finals Eligibility: The youth
must be 13 or under on the first day of the
State Finals and have competed in a least one
regular season NE NE 4-D approved race in the
Youth class as a paid member prior to October
1st of the current year.
|
| |
| Pee Wee Class |
- The Pee Wee class is for kids 7 and under
the day of the barrel race. The entry fee for
the Pee Wee class will be $5 with a 100%
payback. If a Pee Wee would rather run in the
Youth 8-13 age class, they may do so. However,
kids 7 & under may only compete in one age
restricted class either the Pee Wee or Youth a a
barrel race.
- Producers are not required to have the Pee
Wee class but may if they choose to.
- Payout for the Pee Wee class is at the
producer's descretion.
- At the NE 4-D Finals the Pee Wee class will
receive prizes
- NE 4-D State Finals Eligibility: The Pee Wee
must be 7 or under the first day of the State
Finals, have purchased a Youth membership and
have competed in the Pee Wee division of at
least one (1) regular season NE 4-D approved
barrel race as a paid Youth member prior to
October 1st of current year.
- NOTE: A Youth membership is required because
a Pee Wee may compete as either a Pee Wee or a
Youth (but not both) at the NE 4-D State Finals
event.

The 2024 NE 4-D Finals are scheduled for October 18-20, 2024
at the Custer County Fairgrounds
indoor arena in Broken Bow, NE. There will be added money
each day (which comes from all memberships dues) – in 2023
there was $4,000
added on Saturday and
$4,000
added
on Sunday for the Open run. Prizes to the top 10 in the
average in each division (covered by the awards fee at each
NE 4-D approved race). The average is the combined time of
the Saturday and Sunday barrel races. There was also
$250
added on Saturday and
$250
added on Sunday for the Youth
class. Prizes will also be given to youth placing in the
average. We have as much added money
in 2024 as we did in 2023. The NE 4-D State Finals is a
"clean slate" barrel race event. No points will be kept or
used to determine standings or qualification to the event.
To be eligible to compete in the
2024 NE 4D Finals an individual must be a member of the NE
4-D Association in good standing and have competed in at
least one (1) approved barrel race between October 1, 2023
and September 30, 2024.
There will be a
NE 4-D Finals Warm-Up
Race
held on Friday, October
20,
2024 the evening before the
Saturday/Sunday State Finals barrel races. In 2023 there was
$1000 added to the Open.
We have as much added money in
2024 as we did in 2023.
An individual does not have to be
a member to compete in the NE 4-D Warm-Up Race.

| Quick Facts to Consider: |

between approved NE 4-D barrel races on the same
day.
- The NE 4-D will approve out-of-state barrel
races that are within 25 miles of the Nebraska
state line.
- NE 4-D barrel races are open to member and
non-members. No additional non-member fees will
be charged. Non-members can compete at approved
barrel races, but are not eligible to compete at
the NE 4-D State Finals event. Non-members my
compete in the Warm-Up Race.
- Barrels must conform to a standard 55 gallon
barrel
- Electronic timers must be used.
