📣 NEW PRE-REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR 2026 📣
This year, we are trying a new way to pre-register for our jackpots using Cognito Forms — a software platform commonly used by many fellow barrel racing series and jackpots.
Our goal is to make registration smoother, easier to organize, and more efficient for everyone involved.
The form will include questions such as:
• Full Name, Phone Number & Email Address
• Horse Name & MBRA Membership Number
• Division you wish to run in
If you enter Select or Youth, an additional question will appear asking whether you wish to:
• Carry over to Open
• Run both divisions
• Only run in Select/Youth
We will also ask if you are running more than one (1) horse at our jackpot. If yes, you’ll be able to tell us which horse you would prefer to run first. We will do our best to accommodate requests.
⏰ TIME SLOT SELECTION ⏰
This year, pre-registration will also include Time Slot selection.
We will offer 6 different time slots, with 6 riders allowed per slot.
‼️ These spots will be first come, first served (the spot will booked once you click on 'Submit' at the bottom of the form)
Once a time slot is full, the form will no longer allow additional riders to select it and you will need to choose another available slot.
If there are any remaining spots after pre-registration closes, we will post them in the Facebook group for grabs.
🗓 PRE-REGISTRATION DATES 🗓
The registration form will open around noon on the Saturday prior to each jackpot and willclose on Monday at noon (ex: for Jackpot #1, the form will open on Saturday, May 23 and will close on Monday, May 25)
You may still register up until 6:30 PM on jackpot day by messaging the Kick the Dust Up page or Emailing [email protected] (Please avoid messaging board members directly.)
⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️
If you do NOT pre-register, you will automatically be placed at the bottom of the draw, regardless of how many horses you are running. We highly recommend pre-registering. If you need to scratch, please send us an email or message on the Kick the Dust Up page.
💵 OFFICE INFORMATION 💵
The office will open between 5:30 PM and 5:45 PM on jackpot night and will close at 6:45 PM. Cash is the only form of payment accepted for entries.
The first time you run at one of our jackpots this season, you will be asked to show proof of your MBRA membership (a screenshot on your phone is sufficient). Please be ready to show your membership card when registering.
You will also be required to fill out a waiver. If you are under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must be present to sign the waiver for you.
Here is a video so you know what to expect 🙂
