​RULES
  1. PERCH FEE: $125 non-refundable perch fee, per bird, due before or when pigeons arrive. No exceptions.
  2. EVERY 6th perch is FREE.
  3. Accepting birds from April 1 to May 31, 2023 (replacements until June 11). 
  4. SPRINT SERIES ACTIVATION FEE: $150 for every bird that returns from 100-mile Qualifier. ​ ​Activation fee is for Sprint Series (races 1, 2, 3) & Champion Bird payout. 
  5. GRAND FINALE ENTRY FEE: $350 for every bird that returns from 3rd race. Entry fee is for the Grand Finale payouts.  
  6. Activation & entry fees MUST BE PAID FOR ALL BIRDS THAT QUALIFY & payment must be received at least 2 days before 1st and finalraces.  Unpaid birds will be put up for activation by other breeders - birds become the property of the breeder who activates the birds. If a bird is not activated by any breeder, the bird becomes property of the Longhorn Classic. 
  7. If bird's activation or entry fee is paid early, but bird doesn't qualify, fee is refunded.
  8. Sprint Series (races 1, 2, & 3) paid by clocking order only.  Grand Finale (race 4) paid on first drop, then by clocking order.  Bird is considered "clocked" when the clock records the bird - the bird does not actually have to drop through the trap into the loft. ​
  9. Accepting 1,500 birds max.
  10. No limit to number of birds a breeder can enter.
  11. Live clocking on WinCompanion.

  14. Birds remain property of breeders - no buybacks or auctions.
  15. Average speed calculated by total distance / total time for all 4 races.
  16. In the event of a hard race, clock is stopped the 3rd day at noon Central Time. Any unfilled prize slots will be divided equally amongst all birds that clocked.
  17. A completed IRS W-9 form must be submitted to Longhorn Classic before winnings of $600 or more are paid.​
  18. Birds not claimed within 7 days of Grand Finale race become property of the Longhorn Classic.
  19. Breeders pay for return shipping of their birds. 
  20. Must be at least 18 years old to enter birds.
