Barrel racers entering The Patriot Fort Worth will do so through the Global Handicaps entry system, which may be unfamiliar to competitors who don’t rope.

Team ropers use this system regularly, but barrel racers can enter without purchasing a Global Handicaps membershipby simply creating a login.

Here’s the step-by-step process.

Step 1: Go to the Patriot Fort Worth event page

Start on the official event page:

Click the red “Enter Online” button.

Step 2: Access the Patriot entry portal

You will be redirected to the Patriot entry portal:

• Register with Global if they do not

Step 3: Create a free Global Handicaps login

If you do not have a Global Handicaps account:

Click:

“Register With Global To Access Patriot Event.”

You will be redirected to the Global Handicaps registration page.

Then click Next.

As the event producer explains in the entry walkthrough video:

“Enter how many times you want, pick your section, put your horses in, hit next and check out.” IMG_4400.MOV

The Patriot entry system runs through Global Handicaps, which is widely used in team roping but new to many barrel racers.

That means competitors must create a Global login first, even if they have never used the system before.

Once the account is created, however, entries function similarly to other online rodeo entry systems. Although there’s a lot of confusion around the program, The Patriot Event team is here to help at info@patriotevent.com and (417) 350-1252.
