The required
payoff for NBHA sanctioned shows is as follows:
*1. A minimum
of 80% of all entry fees must go to the jackpot. (Exception:
If a show offers at least $1000 added money, a minimum of 70% of all
entry fees must go to the jackpot.) That is, a maximum of 20% (a
maximum of 30% if at least $1000 added) may be withheld as the
“office charge” If more than 20% is withheld pursuant to
the above, this fact must be stated on any showbills or flyers.
This is exclusive of other fees which may be charged for specific
purposes such as State District Awards Fees, timer fee, or arena fee.
While we permit such charges, they must not be excessive, must be
clearly stated in all advertising and show bills, and must be directed
to the specific purposes as labeled, for example, the timer fees must
either be paid to the timer owner/operator, or put toward the purchase
of a timer for the district. The charging of a “processing
fee” at district shows, the sole purpose of which is to add to the
general revenue of the show, is not permitted.
2. In a 3-D
payout, the total jackpotted entry fees of a class is to be divided 50%
to the 1st Division, 30% to the 3rd Division (1 second off fastest
time), and 20% to the 4th Division (2 seconds off fastest time). In a
4-D payout, the total jackpotted entry fees of a class is to be divided
35% to the 1st Division, 30% to the 2nd Division, 20% to the 3rd
Division, and 15% to the 4th Division.
3. In the event a
district co-sanctions with a 4D organization outside the NBHA, the
organizing show producer may use a payout split which is different from
the NBHA’s 35/30/20/15. When co-sanctioning with such shows, district
directors should ensure the payout split being used is well publicized
to all members to avoid any misunderstandings.
4. Added money
will be divided in the same ratio OR split evenly
among all
divisions.
5. There
are no restrictions regarding how added money is apportioned among
classes at a show. For example, a show may add money to the
Open but not to Youth or Seniors.
6. The
following table shows the MINIMUM number of places to be paid for
the stated number of entries:

Directors will check payback in all NBHA classes. Paying
more than the minimum places requires approval of the District Director.
8. All prize
money must be paid out.
9. Prize
money will NOT be paid to any contestant who knocks over a barrel.
10. At
an NBHA District show or State Championships, if not enough
riders qualify in a division as monies to be paid, the money which
is unaccounted for shall be divided equally among those who have
placed in that division. If no riders qualify in a division,
the prize money for that division shall be equally divided among
those riders in the other divisions
of that class
who have won prize money.
