- The rules remain the same, if you do not have 3 runs in a class you can enter the draw multiple times-(no more than 3 runs in each class-draw or picked)

- If there is not enough riders to cover all the draw teams requested, the membership will be polled for volunteers to ride more that once
- Any questions please call Robert Bruneau 1-204-346-4629
2/Due to rising costs with running the finals this year, we will implement a slight increase in entries at finals (up to $5 per run).

Further Clarity on Draw class for 5,7,10
Procedure for entering draw teams for 5, 7, or 10 class
Riders requesting a draw team, will enter their name online, as rider #1, in the class they are requesting. (Leave rider #2 and #3 blank). In the comment section, note how many draw teams are being requested, in that class.
Note: Max 3 runs per rider / per class (pick or draw)
Draw requests may not all be filled, due to the number of riders at a show. When everyone, attending the show, has been used once as a “mandatory” draw rider, they will not be drawn again.
Note: If you request a draw run, that does not become your “mandatory” draw run
Note: “Mandatory” draw run may require a rider to run 4 times, if drawn in a class.
All riders will have 1 request filled, at a time. Next request will be filled once all riders have had their 1st request filled. Riders lowest class request will be filled first. (eg 5 class before 7 or 10 class)
All efforts will be made to make the draw teams equal to the class it is being entered in, but it will be no lower than 1 less than the class is rated.
Note: Due to the limited number of #4 riders, lower numbered riders may not receive their requests, in the 10 class.
Procedure for drawing teams:
A random list will be made, prior to the season beginning, for each of the rating groups. We will select from this random list, at each show, pulling from each rating group, from top to bottom, until all riders in the rating group are used once. At that point a new random list will be created for the rating group.
