ATTENTION MEMBERS No duplicate award buckles (i.e. NFR go-round) will be made by Montana Silversmiths except under extenuating circumstances, and then a letter will have to be submitted to the Properties Dept. If a request is accepted, the charge for the buckle will be retail. There will be no award buckles made that are not listed in the PRCA/ Montana Silversmiths contract. Then again, if an exception is to be made, it will have to be authorized by the Properties Dept.

ATTENTION ALL CONTESTANTS

ALL PRCA MEMBERS Nominate now for the PRCA Donita Barnes Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award.

Nomination letters of 500 words or less can be mailed to the PRCA, 101 ProRodeo Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 or e-mail Nathan Vodehnal at nvodehnal@prorodeo.com between now and August 1.

THE FOLLOWING WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE 2019/2020 SEASON The 2019 individual Circuit Finals Steer Roping events (Badlands, Columbia River, Montana, Mountain States, Prairie, Texas, Turquoise) and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Rop- ing will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. These events will be Official Entry Rodeos (contestant must designate unofficial). If a contestant has not met the required participation count it will be an automatic unofficial entry rodeo for that contestant and will not count toward 2020 World Standings or qualification rodeos. For any Steer Rop- ing Circuit Finals Rodeo that occurs prior to the 2019 regular season cutoff date, money won at those circuit finals rodeos will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. Official money won at the 2019 Circuit Finals Steer Roping and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Roping will not count toward the All-Around.
