ranked 2nd in the standings will fill the #1 position since he was the highest ranked contestant who actually entered. Pens of horses and re-rides will be set by the committee/ stock contractor for each section in order and contestants will be drawn to the animals in that order by PROCOM. The top 3 contestants based on highest scores from each of the three sections will advance to the finals. Splits in the sections will advance to the finals not to exceed 12. If splits result in more than 12, the split associated with the lowest score will be excluded. Re-rides will be designated by committee/ stock contractor. TURN-OUT, DR’s and VIR’s in the Darby Extreme Bareback event on Sunday will be replaced by contestants from the alternate list. If the Qualifying Performance is one go-round, the order of the alternate list will be based on highest single scores in the Qualifying Performance. If the Qualifying Performance is two go-rounds or one go-round with a progressive or a finals, the alternate list will be based on highest rankings in the average. Contestants who desire to be used as alternates must check-in with the rodeo secretary no later than one hour prior to the start of the Extreme event. After the one-hour check-in deadline, the alternates will be randomly drawn to the available positions. If stock has already been drawn the alternate contestant will compete on the animal that he has been drawn by the contestant that he is replacing. STOCK DRAW FOR THREE SECTIONS: There will be 12 horses set for each section with 10 contestants in each section. Each section will draw a number, one through ten. The order of the draw will correspond with the order on the judges’ sheets. The contestant who draws #1 will be the first to select an animal on which he will compete. Contestants will select their competition animals in order of the numbers that they draw. The two animals not selected will become the re-rides. A coin flip will determine which will be the first re ride. This procedure will be followed for all three sections. The time and location of the draft process is still to be determined. STOCK DRAW FOR THE FINALS: The buck order of the horses to be used in the finals will be established prior to the stock draw. The draw order will be based on scores in the long go-round. The contestant with the lowest score in the long go round will draw last. If there are ties in the placings advancing to the finals, a random draw will determine the order in which the tied contestants draw. The competition order will be based on pre established buck order of the horses. ENTRY FEES: Entry fees for the 20 contestants who are originally accepted as entries for the Darby Extreme Bareback event on June 4 will be $250 (plus $35 supplemental fee). Entry fees for contestants accepted as entries for the Qualifying Performance will be $100 (plus $35 supplemental fee).
