NCHA
World Finals
Cutters
in each of 11 classes, including junior and
senior youth, share the glory and the
opportunity of the NCHA World
Finals.
The
top 50 money earners in each class at the
end of the point year are invited to
participate in the NCHA World
Finals in Amarillo, Texas.
Both
the junior and senior youth classes earn
points in two go-rounds, plus points awarded
in
the working finals. The “World Champion” in
each class is determined by combined earnings
throughout the point year,
plus points won in the World Finals show.
