Youth rodeo
Four age groups. Nine events. One workbook.
A youth rodeo season is a sheet per age group, a points block per event, a column per date, and an all-around tab that has to roll all of it up — kept by one person who also has grandkids competing. Run it here instead, and the only thing left to do on rodeo day is run the rodeo.
Age groups
6 & Under doesn't share a pot with High School.
Tag each class with its age group and the whole show organizes around it — the entry form, the run order, the payouts and the printed sheets.
Every age group is its own class
6 & Under Barrels and 7–10 Barrels are two separate classes that happen to share a name. Each carries its own entries, its own fees and its own pot — so the money can never leak between groups. That separation is structural, not a setting somebody has to remember.
No horse, no problem
Drop the horse field off the entry form and the whole show adapts. Goats, stick horse and dummy roping stop asking for a horse name, and nothing downstream prints an empty column where a horse should be.
The entry form sorts itself
Riders see classes grouped under their age heading, so a parent signing up two kids picks from two short lists instead of one long one.
Any event you run
Barrels, poles, goats, breakaway, dummy roping, stick horse, team roping — an event is just a class, so the list is yours. Add one mid-season and the season keeps adding up.
All-arounds
The kid who enters up.
A rider can chase event buckles in their own group and one group up. They can only win an all-around in one. Getting that wrong hands a year-end saddle to the wrong kid, and the spreadsheet can't catch it.

Only ever enters up — the rule can’t see her real group, so she’s pinned.

pinned by handNo points in Jr High yet, so no all-around.
Noah rides Jr High and enters up in High School. His High School points count toward the High School event title and toward no all-around — his all-around stays in Jr High, the youngest group he scores in. Enter him up or drop him back and watch where it lands.
The season
Nov through March, adding itself up.
Points carry across every rodeo in the season. Parents watch the standings like a hawk, so they publish to a public page that updates as you type — which is also the end of answering the same question by text all winter.
See the points grid →Ties split the points
Two riders tied for 3rd take up 3rd and 4th, so they split the two — 7.5 each. The same rule the money already follows.
Finals count 1.5×
Flag a finals round and a win is worth 15 instead of 10. Set it before you fill the column and every sheet agrees — including the one a parent adds up by hand.
Points by age group
Each group keeps its own standings, event by event, exactly like the sheet per age group you keep now.
The banquet packet
A PDF for awards night and an Excel workbook for your records — the all-arounds print as their own table with a column per event.
Run rodeo #1 alongside your sheet.
That's the honest way to start a season on new software: let both run for one rodeo, compare the totals, and drop the sheet at rodeo #2 once it matches.
