Divisions & Entry Ranges

Divisions and entry ranges are the building blocks of how payouts and points are calculated in SpeedySteeds. They are configured within an organization’s payout and point settings, and they work together to determine who gets paid (or earns points) and how much.

Organization payout settings showing divisions and entry ranges

Divisions

A division groups riders by their time relative to the fastest qualifying run. Each division is defined by:

Number - The division identifier (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, etc.)
Increment - The number of seconds added to the fastest time to define the upper boundary of this division
Payout Percentage - What percentage of the division’s available prize pool goes to this division (used in payout settings only)

How Divisions Work

Divisions are calculated from the fastest time in the event. For example, with a typical 4D setup:

Division	Increment	Time Range (if fastest = 15.000)
1D	0.000	15.000 – 15.499
2D	0.500	15.500 – 15.999
3D	1.000	16.000 – 16.999
4D	2.000	17.000 and slower

The first division always starts at the fastest time (increment of 0). Each subsequent division starts where the previous one ends.

When the organization’s Point Split Start is set to “Member,” divisions are calculated from the fastest member’s time rather than the fastest overall time. Non-member times are ignored for division boundaries.

Entry Ranges

An entry range defines how many places are paid (or earn points) based on the number of entries in an event. Each entry range has:

Start - The minimum number of entries for this range to apply
End - The maximum number of entries for this range
Number of Places - How many places receive payouts or points within this range
Values - The specific payout percentage or point amount for each place
Threshold Type - What the start/end numbers represent:
- Entry Count - Based on the number of riders entered (most common)
- Purse Amount - Based on the total purse in dollars (used in WPRA and IPRA-style events)
- Added Money - Based on the event’s added money in dollars (used in BBR-style events where bonus points scale with added money tiers)

How Entry Ranges Work

The system checks how many entries are in the event (or what the purse total is) and selects the matching entry range. That range then determines how many places are paid and what each place receives.

For example, with these entry ranges:

Range	Places	1st	2nd	3rd	4th
1–5 entries	1	100%	-	-	-
6–10 entries	2	60%	40%	-	-
11–20 entries	3	50%	30%	20%	-
21+ entries	4	40%	30%	20%	10%

If 15 riders enter, the 11–20 range applies: three places are paid at 50%, 30%, and 20% of the division’s prize pool.

Payout percentages within an entry range should total 100%. These percentages represent the distribution within a single division’s prize pool - not the total event purse.
