PEWC › Sanctioning

For producers

Sanction your event

Sanctioning puts your event on the PEWC calendar, in front of thousands of members, and makes every run at it count toward the season standings.

What a sanctioning covers

One sanctioning covers first and second Open, one Pee Wee, one Youth and one Senior class. PEWC's suggested layout is 4D on the Open at a half-second split, 3D Youth, 3D Pee Wee and 2D Senior — but the format is yours to set.

Reporting results

Seven days. Excel only.

Results must reach [email protected] within seven days of the event finishing.

Excel format is required. Photos and screenshots of results are not accepted — they cannot be matched to member numbers.

Producer requirements

  • The traditional timed cloverleaf pattern with three barrels, no variations
  • Results reported in Excel, within seven days, every time
  • Professional conduct — unsportsmanlike behavior or outside grievances can cost you sanctioning in future years

Host a PEWC members only sidepot

Each year PEWC puts added money behind a handful of shows. In 2025 we backed 16 sidepots across Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and Illinois, and we are looking to expand. There is no fee to apply.

How it works

  • We send you the added money, between $250 and $1,000 depending on the event and the budget that year.
  • You run the sidepot and keep the income from it. All of the added money is paid out. You set the entry fee, the payout percentage on a 4D basis and the time split. We suggest a 75% payout.
  • One sidepot per show. On a multi-day show you choose the day.
  • The Open class tied to the sidepot must be PEWC sanctioned with at least $1,000 added. On a multi-day event we ask you to sanction all days.
  • Offer PEWC memberships at the show and get the forms to the office within seven days. Riders can also join online.
  • Results within seven days, in the PEWC results sheet.
  • The PEWC logo goes on your flyers and the sidepot is properly advertised.

Funding is limited and awarded first come, first served among the events we choose. How much goes to each state depends on how many members are there. More shows are approved through the year as membership grows.
