All riders, regardless of ability, run in the same barrel race. The four divisions are then determined by time brackets. With the 4-D format, the OVERALL fastest time of the race is used to set the time brackets for the 4 divisions.
1st Division or 1D: These are the competitors with the fastest time.
2nd Division or 2D: These are the competitors who ran 1/2 second slower than the fastest.
3rd Division or 3D: These are the competitors who ran 1 second slower than the overall fastest time.
2nd Division or 2D: These are the competitors who ran 1/2 second slower than the fastest.
3rd Division or 3D: These are the competitors who ran 1 second slower than the overall fastest time.
4th Division or 4D: These are the competitors who ran 2 seconds slower than the overall fastest.
This allows the beginner to compete with a more experienced racer and still have a chance to win.
