2027 Season Points
Standings
One set of points across every sanctioned show. Results come in from each producer after the show, and a rider must complete at least four to be eligible for year-end awards.
Lead Line
Walk-trot pattern on a lead rope with a parent or handler. They pay an entry like everyone else, run for the money like everyone else, and have their own awards at the finals.

6 & under

How Points Work
Show up, run clean, and the math takes care of itself.
- 01
Points per placing
Six spots pay points in each division: 30 for first, then 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5.
- 02
Four-show minimum
Riders must complete four shows to be eligible for year-end awards.
Times and payouts are settled at the show on the day. If a rider is missing from a division here, email cowbellebarrelracing@gmail.com with the show date, division and rider name.
Year-end awards
Buckles and the Belle of the Barrel Race.
Year-end champions are named at the finals in November.
