After the March 17 cutoff, late entries will ring in at double the cost of the original class entries across the board.
Among the classes offered to riders in 2025, the $600,000 equal-payout Open 5D will offer competitors at all levels of competition the chance to cash in—a new format in 2025, provided thanks to the feedback of stakeholders. In 2025, first-time Ruby Buckle competitors have the opportunity to compete in the $35,000 Rookie Ruby class.
