Change R10.5.4 Team Roping. The minimum standard length of the team roping scoreline shall be the length of the box minus 2 feet one foot under the length of the box at indoor rodeos and will be the same as the box at outdoor rodeos. (Kaleb Driggers 12/22)

Change R10.8.3 Throwing Heel Loop . The direction of the steer’s body must be changed before the heel loop can be thrown. However, if the steer stops, it must only be moving forward for the heel loop to be legal. Any heel loop thrown before the

completion of the initial switch will be considered a crossfire and no time will be recorded. “Crossfire” The heel rope cannot come in contact with the steer’s legs until BOTH: A) The header has control of the steer’s head B) And the steer’s hips have changed direction, with the steer having forward motion. A steer that stops, slows down, or drifts towards the header, must still fulfill rule A and B. (Wesley Thorp 01/23)
