PRCA Business Journal - Feb. 4, 2022

the current year’s purse will be published in the long listings in the ground rules of that rodeo. At series rodeos (which consist of 10 or more weekly rodeos), in the bull riding event, if no one qualifies for prize money for that rodeo, no ground money will be paid out. The prize money for the bull riding for that rodeo will be combined with the bull riding purse for the next rodeo included in the series the following week and paid out in accordance with the PRCA Rule Book. It will be listed in the ground rules that the prize money may be “carried over” to the following week if there are no qualified rides. (C. Rostockyj 6/19) BOD Adopted 09/2021 Change R10.3.21 Failure of Animal to Pull Neck Rope . In the timed events, if an animal fails to break the neck rope and time is officially started by the contestant, that animal belongs to the contestant. A contestant cannot rope an animal before the neck rope comes off. However, if time is started by the animal and contestant (tie down roper, steer roper, steer wrestler and hazer, or header and heeler) remains behind the plane of the barrier for approximately 10 seconds, that animal should be considered a sulking animal and replaced using the Misdraw procedure . an animal starts the time and then stops before the neck rope comes off and the contestant declares immediately, he will be entitled to a rerun, as long as in the opinion of the judges, the stop was not caused by the hazer or the heeler.” (M. Sherwood 11/2021) Add R10.6.7 Falling Calf If an animal prior to crossing the score line goes down to his knees, belly, or hocks and the contestant declares immediately, a rerun will be given. Judges call whether the calf was pushed down intentionally Add R10.6.7 Falling Calf In the Tie-down Roping, if in the opinion of the line judge, if the animal falls before it crosses the scoreline, the contestant shall be entitled to a rerun on his original stock, provided that the contestant declares immediately. There will be no penalty added to the rerun if, in the opinion of the judge, the contestant did not deliberately beat the barrier and if the contestant declares himself immediately. If the originally drawn animal cannot be re-ran, the contestant will run the extra (where an extra is available) or have a calf drawn for him according to the misdraw procedure (S.Hanchey 11/2021) 2022 Bylaw Proposals Change B2.5.13.6.1 Transfer of Stock Contracting Firm.
