QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:

​

ANYONE CAN RIDE AT THE COLORADO STATE FINALS

​

​​

​

• The State Finals Competition shall be a double point’s show for all classes with less than 100 teams.  For classes with 100 teams of over the points will remain the same.  IE if there is a class of 120 teams the winner of the class will receive 20 points not 40 points. 

​

​

​

Points for every class will count towards the Division Points with the exception of the Youth, Penning, and Legends.

• Youth points will accumulate from the following classes throughout the year.  

• Youth Sorting AND Youth Penning Classes 

• Sorting classes with a team limit of 6 or lower (IE #6 sort, #4 sort)

RATINGS CHANGES

Riders ratings may be moved up or down based on several factors, the most important being their win: loss ratio.  No rider (with the exception of newer or low volume riders and others previously noted) will be moved up or down after 10/01/24.  

​

Should a rider move from one division to another, the rider shall transfer only those points accumulated up to the amount equal to the number of points the current first place holder in the new division has accumulated.  IE if a rider is moved from the 2 division to the 3 division, and

• has accumulated 210 points​, and

• the leader of the 3 division has accumulated 195 points

• then the rider transferring to the 3 division shall transfer only 195 points
