In case of a tie for the final qualifying position (except in Camas Prairie Stump Race and Nez Perce Stake Race) all those tied will go forward to the finals. In the event it is not necessary to run an elimination round, the class will be run complete at the time the final round is scheduled. In Camas Prairie Stump Race and Nez Perce Stake Race, if a tie occurs in an elimination round for the last position in the finals bracket, those horses tied will re-run on time only with the fastest time advancing. Once an elimination round has been held, no change of horse/exhibitor combination or tack/ equipment is allowed for the finals. In heading and heeling, the entrant must have the same helper in both the elimination and final rounds. In most classes, when possible the top 16 horses will be called back for the finals. In showmanship classes, if there are 40 or more entries, elimination rounds(s) shall be held with the top entries advancing to a final round immediately following the elimination rounds. Showmanship classes with fewer than 40 entries will be finalized in one go. AWARDS RIBBONS & TROPHIES In all ApHC classes, a Champion trophy is awarded to first place winners. The Reserve Champion trophy is presented to second place winners and ribbons are awarded for first through tenth place. MEDALLIONS & MEDALS All open ApHC classes are medallion classes except sweepstakes classes. All non-pro classes are medal classes. Youth classes are not medallion or medal classes. ESCROW OF AWARDS All monetary awards will be issued pending notification of drug testing results. If a horse tests positive for any unapproved drugs or unacceptable levels of approved medication, all ribbons, trophies, and other awards shall be held in escrow by the ApHC until notification of the Disciplinary Committee’s decision. PREMIUM PAYBACK AWARD CALCULATIONS & TIE BREAKING PROCEDURES FOR OPEN, YOUTH & NON-PRO AWARDS Horses will receive points towards special open, youth and non-pro awards for 1st through 10th place. First place will receive 11 points, 2nd place will receive 9 points, and so on down to 10th place which will receive 1 point unless otherwise specified. If there are less than 10 horses in a class, scores will be based on the number competing with the 1st place horse receiving one more point than the number of horses in the class, the 2nd place horse receiving 2 fewer points than the 1st place horse and the 3rd place horse receiving 1 less point than the 2nd place horse and so on down to last place which shall receive 1 point unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise stated under individual award listings, in the case of a tie in the open awards, the horse earning points in the greater number of classes that count toward the award will be the winner. If that fails to break the tie, the horse placing 1st-10th over the greatest number of total entries will be the victor. In the case of a tie in the youth or non-pro division, the youth or non-pro earning points in the greater number of classes that count toward the award will be the winner. If that fails to break the tie, the youth or non-pro earning points in the greater number of performance classes will be the winner. If that fails to break the tie, the youth or non-pro placing 1st-10th over the greatest number of total entries will be the victor.
