All competitors are asked to work one volunteer shift per entry during the show. Volunteer shifts will be worked around your ride schedule.

By inviting or asking our competitors/riders to volunteer, we are trying to make it possible for the riders to reduce their cost of entering our show. Shows take volunteers to run, and the lack of volunteers has been an issue in the past years. This will help reduce the work through many hands. No shift will last longer than 1 hour and may be worked by an individual appointed by the rider. If you feel you are unable to volunteer, you may pay a fee of $30 per entry to void this requirement.
