The RODEOHOUSTON Super Series will feature five Super Series of three rounds each (a round will be completed at each performance) with eight contestants per event; two Semifinal Rounds with 10 contestants per event each round; one Wild Card Round with 12 contestants per event; and a Championship Round featuring 10 contestants per event. This format will result in 40 contestants total per event. The 2020 RODEOHOUSTON Super Series is an independent production of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Inc. (‘HLSR”). 1.2 CONTESTANT AGREEMENT references the binding legal agreement (RODEOHOUSTON Super Series Contestant Agreement) between each contestant and HLSR. Each contestant accepts the terms of the Contestant Agreement upon entering the RODEOHOUSTON Super Series and the Contestant Agreement is executed by HLSR upon HLSR’s acceptance of the contestant’s entry application. 1.3 RODEO RULES refers to the PRCA Rulebook that will be in effect for the bareback riding, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping and tie-down roping events; whereas the WPRA Rule Book will be in effect for the women’s barrel racing event. Unless specifically addressed to the contrary in the document or in the Contestant Agreement, RODEO RULES will prevail during the 2020 RODEOHOUSTON Super Series. CONFLICT OF DOCUMENTS AND RULE BOOK: Order of Precedence In the event of conflict, the Contestant Agreement prevails over the Rules of Competition (commonly referred to as “Ground Rules”) and the RODEO RULES. The Rules of Competition prevails over RODEO RULES. ENTRIES: 3.1 RODEOHOUSTON Super Series entry fees are $500 per contestant per event (see 3.2 immediately below). 3.2 In compensation for each contestant agreeing to the terms, conditions and grant of rights detailed in the Contestant Agreement, HLSR will pay all 2020 RODEOHOUSTON Super Series entry fees (this is in addition to other monetary opportunities detailed in the Contestant Agreement). ENTRY SELECTION AND IVITATION PROCESS: 4.1 The 2020 RODEOHOUSTON Super Series is an invitational championship rodeo featuring the top athletes in the sport of rodeo. HLSR management and staff have the sole authority and responsibility to determine the list of invitees to participate in each Super Series and to determine, on a case- by-case basis, which alternate entry will replace any originally invited contestant that chooses not to enter or decides, for whatever reason, not to compete. The initial invited list is determined using the following criteria (see 4.2). Invitations and alternate entry openings will be published by HLSR in late 2019. HLSR will not be subject to entry rules and procedures of any sanctioning organizations to include, but not limited to, grace periods and office rules. Once entries are accepted and confirmed,

property doctor releases he will not be responsible for entry fees. RE-ENTRIES: Re-entries will be accepted where the actual entries accepted during the original entry period were less than the limit. Entries are re-opened sometime prior to the riding event stock draw. Contestants that enter during the re-entry period will be placed in the remaining available positions (available positions will be defined by the stock contractor and/or committee based on the number of contestants that entered during the re-entry period). All re- entries will be accepted to fill the performances not to exceed the original limit defined in the ground rules (based on “money won” qualifications). In the event that there are not enough qualified rides in the first go-round, a random draw back list will be used to select contestants to fill the remaining positions in the finals. Contestants who did not have a qualified score in the first go-round and are drawn back to compete in the finals, will not be eligible to place in the aggregate. Money won by any contestant in the finals will count. NOTE: In order for money won at an Xtreme Bulls competition to count for the 2019 National Finals Rodeo or the 2019 Rookie of the Year standings, during the 2019 season a contestant must have competed at a minimum of 40 PRCA rodeos. Money won will count for 2019 PRCA World standings and 2019 Xtreme Bulls standings. It will not count for All Around. STK.
