These are presently the changes proposed for the upcoming season:

Classes:
-#8, Masters, #6, #4, #2, & Novice Draw ...  (the #2 and the Novice Draw are 2 separate classes - these classes
are for the beginning and novice riders).

-All classes are 60 seconds. However, the (#2) class will sort 8 head, and the Novice Draw class will sort 5 head.

-The #6, #4 and #2 will be a 1 draw* mandatory class. Only 1 draw ( #6, #4, & #2 classes ) is required
regardless of how many "pick" rides you have.  However, you may also draw for additional rides in these classes.             
The Novice Draw is a draw only class.

-The cost per class is the promoters option, however it is suggested that in the #8, Masters, #6 & #4 classes that there is
a short go for the top 40% with 10 teams maximum.

Any or all of the above still subject to revision based on recommendations by the advisory committee**.

**Ratings, rule changes, added money distribution for next years Finals and Finals format will be determined by an
"Advisory Committee", much like a Board (without by-laws, elections, and officers).
Note: Added money is made up of promoters fees, day fees, and participation fees, less awards and web site hosting.

So far the following have expressed an interest in serving as an advisor:

                           Mike Mcmillan        Kerri Wallace
                           Brad Scrivner         Linda Dopuch
                           Billy Coleman          Butch Wade

         "BUCKLE" WINNINGS HAVE BEEN LOWERED FOR #1 RIDERS
