Recent Board Decisions

Just a reminder that all of our meetings are open to the public. We welcome your comments and suggestions.


February 2016 Meeting

After much discussion, a motion was made to adopt a new format for the 2016 Championship Show. Motion was second. Motion passed.

Non Pro Class for illustration purposes:

• All contestants must be qualified having shown 4 times at one ACHA affiliate or 8 times at any combination of ACHA affiliates, or be in the top 10 for the season. Contestants must be in good standing.
• Each contestant will be required to pre-enter as in the past.
• Class will run 1st go on designated day 1 and 2nd go on designated day 2.
• Entry fee will be paid for each day / $1,000 added money each day.
• Payout on each day will be based on our regular weekend payout system.
• The Champion and Reserve Champion will be determined by the highest combined score from both days. 

In short, every cutter will have a shot at the purse and added money on both days, a shot at the championship, and an overall lower entry fee to play. 
 


January 2016 Meeting

A motion was made to amend the Non-Pro qualifications for persons applying for a Non-Pro Card.

-or-
Has not performed duties as a trainer for the past 5 years and has less than $20,000 in open earnings (including aged events).
