Your questions are important to
us.
This page may answer some of the most common questions of people new to penning
or to WVTPA. Remember if you need a copy of "Rules and
Regulations" or a copy of our "By-Laws" please go to these pages.
The club furnishes the indoor
arena (Linn Co. Fair Grounds, Albany, OR) and anywhere from two to three pens of
cattle depending on the turn out of riders.
$ 6.00 Arena fee per rider.
$10.00 Each team member (2 goes)
$10.00 Mixer team (2 goes)
$15.00 Jackpot team (2 goes)
$ 1.00 Chance at Drawpot
You may ride 4 picked teams and 1 drawpot or mixer
team. A total of no more than 5 teams.
You do not have to ride a mixer
team. People who ride a mixer team gets 1 extra point added to their
points for the evening. You may sign up to ride more than 1 mixer.
The teams are to be drawn. You may ride more times in the mixer if you
ride less in the picked teams.
There is also a $10 non member fee that
is waived the first time a person comes.
While you can join our club as and individual
rider ($35.00/year) it is often more cost
effective to sign up as a family ($55.00/year) in case others in your household
get the bug to pen later in the year!
How can I find
the Linn Co. Fair Grounds?
3700 Knox Butte Rd
Albany, Oregon
Can I come once
to try team penning out?...
We recommend that you be familiar with the basic rules first, by downloading and
reading them - then come to our Open House or Clinics.
How Are Points Figured?
New point calculation this year!
There are no bonus points in the divisions. (last year there were
bonus points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each division Open, AM and Novice).
1 point is given
for riding in the mixer (instead of 2 points like last year). You only can get 1
point for the mixer no matter if you ride 1 team in the mixer or all 4 teams in
the mixer.
1 point is given
for riding in the draw pot.
1 point will be
given for each team that pens cows in each division (open, Am and Novice) and a
person in their division can only get points for their top place team. If
you get a second place time AND a third place time, you will only get points for
your SECOND place team. Points are based on how many teams
pen cows in each division.
