Points & Standings

Points accumulate across all shows within a season, giving you end-of-season rankings for each organization. SpeedySteeds calculates standings automatically based on the organization’s point settings and each rider’s results.

Standings Types

How riders are ranked depends on the organization’s Standings Type setting:

Points-Based Standings

The most common model for clubs like IBRA and NBHA. Riders earn points at each show based on their placement within their division. Points from all shows in the season are summed for the final standings.

Money Won Standings

Used by organizations like WPRA and IPRA. Riders are ranked by total prize money earned across all shows in the season rather than by a point system.

How Points Are Calculated

For each event at each show:

Times are sorted and riders are placed into divisions based on the organization’s point settings
The number of entries determines which entry range applies
Each placing rider within a division receives the point value defined for that place in the entry range

Factors That Affect Points

Membership required - Only riders with a membership in the organization earn points. Non-members can compete and place but accumulate no points.
Points with penalty - If disabled on the organization, penalized runs receive zero points regardless of their placement
Award Points To - Controls whether points track against the rider, the specific rider-horse combination, or the horse only (see Organization)
Point split start - When set to “Member,” division boundaries are calculated from the fastest member’s time. When set to “Entry,” they’re calculated from the fastest overall time.
Tie points - Tied riders either all receive the highest point value or split the combined points equally
Minimum place - Riders placing below this threshold receive zero points

Organization point settings

Viewing Standings

Navigate to the Seasons tab and select a season
Open the Point Standings dialog
Select the organization whose standings you want to view
Standings display all riders ranked by total points (or money won) for the season

The standings dialog shows:

Exporting Standings

You can export season standings to PDF or Excel from the point standings dialog. See Printing & Exporting for details.

Standings update in real-time as you enter results. You can check standings at any point during the season, not just at the end.
