BARREL RACING ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS
SEASON 18 CHANGES
As the 2017-2018 season comes to an end we wanted to let everyone know about a few changes that BRAT is going to
make regarding our new upcoming 2018-2019 season. We sincerely appreciate everyone who comes and supports the
BRAT races.
YOUTH CLASS:
We realize there is many new and exciting opportunities for our Youth in other organizations which has caused a decline
in our entries. We feel these changes will benefit the distribution of the awards based on the analyzation of the past
season’s numbers of entries.
1) In our new 2018-2019 season we will award a Champion saddle and a Reserve Champion saddle. We previously
have given Top 5 saddles but only will be awarding two this next season.
2) We currently use a 5D point system. We will be going back to a 4D point system which is based on half-halfwhole
seconds.
3) We will still be awarding monthly jackpot awards but only to the 1st place winner of each of the 4D’s.
Everything else in the Youth class will remain the same: 15 & Under as of May 1st
, 2018, still be a 6-point system, youth
may still run in just the youth or youth with carry-over.
ADULT INCENTIVE:
After reviewing the number of entries in our Adult Incentive class we have decided to make some changes here as well.
We will still do the Top 5 awards but will be awarding a CHAMPION SADDLE in this incentive next season.
SENIOR INCENTIVE:
After reviewing the number of entries in our Senior Incentive class we have decided to make some changes here as well.
We will still do the Top 5 awards but will be awarding a CHAMPION SADDLE in this incentive next season.
PBRIP INCENTIVE:
After reviewing the number of entries in our PBRIP Incentive class, we will not be awarding year end awards in this
incentive for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.
We look forward to next season! As always “let’s get bigger and better”!
