The required
payoff for NBHA sanctioned shows is as follows:
*1. A
minimum of 80% of all entry fees must go to the jackpot.
(Exception: If a show offers at least $1000 added money, a
minimum of 70% of all entry fees must go to the jackpot.)
That is, a maximum of 20% (a maximum of 30% if at least $1000
added) may be withheld as the “office charge” If more
than 20% is withheld pursuant to the above, this fact must be
stated on any showbills or flyers. This is exclusive of
other fees which may be charged for specific purposes such as
State District Awards Fees, timer fee, or arena fee. While
we permit such charges, they must not be excessive, must be
clearly stated in all advertising and show bills, and must be
directed to the specific purposes as labeled, for example, the
timer fees must either be paid to the timer owner/operator, or
put toward the purchase of a timer for the district. The
charging of a “processing fee” at district shows, the sole
purpose of which is to add to the general revenue of the show,
is not permitted.
2. In
a 3-D payout, the total jackpotted entry fees of a class is to
be divided 50% to the 1st Division, 30% to the 3rd Division (1
second off fastest time), and 20% to the 4th Division (2 seconds
off fastest time). In a 4-D payout, the total jackpotted entry
fees of a class is to be divided 35% to the 1st Division, 30% to
the 2nd Division, 20% to the 3rd Division, and 15% to the 4th
Division.
3. In the
event a district co-sanctions with a 4D organization outside
the NBHA, the organizing show producer may use a payout split
which is different from the NBHA’s 35/30/20/15. When
co-sanctioning with such shows, district directors should ensure
the payout split being used is well publicized to all members to
avoid any misunderstandings.
4.
Added money will be divided in the same ratio OR split evenly
among
all divisions.
5.
There are no restrictions regarding how added money is
apportioned among classes at a show. For example, a
show may add money to the Open but not to Youth or
Seniors.
6.

equally among those who have placed in that division.
If no riders qualify in a division, the prize money for that
division shall be equally divided among those riders in the
other divisions
of
that class who have won prize money.
