Entrants automatically qualify for Daily Championship Awards (there is no separate fee). An optional one-time sign-up fee of $35 qualifies entrants for any and all Series Championship Awards for which they are eligible. Any horse entering the grounds but not entered in the show is subject to a facility fee of $45 per day, plus a waiver of liability must be signed. The person making the entry takes financial responsibility for all fees incurred. An NSF charge of $45 is made on all returned checks, plus a monthly service charge. Class entry fees are doubled (i.e., there is an entry fee for each judge) in the final double-point show.

Most 'breed' points will determine a tie-winner in Overall Halter. Most 'pleasure' points will determine a tie-winner in Green Horse. Most 'pleasure-open' points will determine a tie-winner in All Around and Western Horse Champions. Most ‘under-saddle’ points will determine a tie winner in Low Hunter.
