How Ante Up Breakaway Association Works
The Ante Up Breakaway Association was created to elevate the sport of breakaway roping by offering professional opportunities, exclusive member benefits, and a clear pathway to bigger payouts and a premier year-end finale.
Our association is built around three core pillars:
-
Ante Up–Produced Events
-
Partnerships with Third-Party Producers
-
A High-Stakes, Members-Only Finale
Together, these elements create more opportunities to rope, more chances to win, and a professional system that rewards commitment and consistency.
Ante Up–Produced Events
Ante Up Breakaway Association will host and produce its own jackpots throughout the season. These events are open to members, and all membership benefits apply at every Ante Up–produced event.
At Ante Up events, members can expect:
-
Professional, well-run jackpots
-
Clear rules and payout structures
-
Non-Member Day Pass Option
-
Points earned toward the season standings
-
A welcoming, competitive environment for all ages
-
Online & Cash entries welcome. Payouts will be in cash at conclusion of event.
Members are encouraged to attend as many Ante Up events as possible, as these events play a key role in building points, earnings, and momentum toward the finale.
Partnered Events & Third Party Producer
In addition to hosting our own events, Ante Up Breakaway Association partners with select third-party producers, including jackpots, rodeos, and special events that align with our values and standards.
At these partnered events:
-
Ante Up members will have access to exclusive Ante Up side pots
-
These side pots are available to members only
-
Members can earn points and money toward the Ante Up season standings
This allows members to compete at events they are already attending while still benefiting from their Ante Up membership.
How Entries, Payments & Payouts Work
To keep everything organized, transparent, and professional, Ante Up Breakaway Association handles all side pot entries, payments, and payouts separately from the third-party producer.
Here’s how it works:
-
Members will enter Ante Up side pots online through the Ante Up website
-
Entry fees for Ante Up side pots are paid directly to the association
-
All Ante Up side pots are confirmed and approved with the event producer in advance
-
Payouts are processed and paid by Ante Up Breakaway Association, not by the third-party producer
-
Payouts will be made within 24 hours of event.
*The rules strictly apply to THIRD PARTY produced events ONLY - Please see "Ante Up Produced Events" paragraph for more payout info.
Even though the event itself is hosted by another producer, your Ante Up entry, money, points, and payouts are fully managed by the association.
This system ensures:
-
Accurate tracking of entries and results
-
Timely and correct payouts
-
Clear separation between event producers and association incentives
-
Consistency across all events
