R5.2.5 Five Go-Rounds and Average. Prize money for the average is three times the go-round. Divide the Total by eight and the result will be the prize money for each go-round. Three times the result will be the prize money for the average. R5.2.6 More Than Five Go-Rounds. Prize money for the average is never more than three times the go-round. Take the number of go-rounds to be held, add three, and divide the Total by this figure. The result is the prize money for each go-round and three times the result is the prize money for the average.

The distribution of prize money between go-rounds and the average may then be determined as follows: R5.3.2.1 One Go-Round With a Finals and Average. Prize money for the average and the go-round are the same. Deduct the amount of the prize money for the final go-round from the Total. (In the team roping, divide the answer by two before continuing.) Divide the remaining total by two. The result will be the prize money for the go-round and the prize money for the average. R5.3.2.1.1 One Go-Round with a Finals and Average in Team Roping, Tie-Down Roping, Steer Wrestling and Steer Roping. Prize money for the average is one and one-half times the go-round. Deduct the amount of prize money for the final go-round from the Total. (In the team roping, divide the answer by two before continuing.) Divide the remaining Total by five. Multiply the results by two to obtain amount of prize money for the go-round and by three to obtain amount of prize money for the average. R5.3.2.2 Two Go-Rounds With a Finals and Average. Prize money for the average is one-and—one-half times the go-round. Deduct the amount of the prize money for the final go-round from the Total.
