Classic 5/6 Amateur Semi-Finals Explanation

The question has been raised as to why there will be no semi-finals for the Classic Amateur class at the 2018 Summer Spectacular.

Semi-finals are determined by the number of entrants at the time of the final payment due date. (Please see rule outlined below.)

At the time of the final payment due date, there were 147 entries. Subsequent to the final payment due date there were an additional 8 entries received, bringing the total number of entries to 155. Therefore, no semi-finals will be held for the 5/6 Amateur class.

For further explanation, please see Item #3 of the entry form for the Amateur/Unlimited Amateur Combination, as outlined below:

“The 2018 Derby and Classic Challenger Amateur/Unlimited Amateur Combination Cutting Horse Contest with a minimum of 150 entries will consist of one go-round with 30% moving to the semifinals with a maximum of 60 plus ties, and with 20 plus ties to the finals. Calculations for the semifinals will be determined on the final payment date. Late entries will not dictate semifinals.

In the event there are less than 150 entries in a class, there will be no semi-finals and will consist of one go-round plus finals for the high-scoring twenty-five (25%), with a minimum of ten and a maximum of thirty (30).”
