The initial invited list is determined using the following criteria (see 4.2 and 4.3). Invitations and alternate entry openings will be published by HLSR by the end of the 2022 year. 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. Entries will be a two-part process through PROCOM and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

After the trade period, no trades will be allowed, no exceptions. HLSR has, in its sole discretion, the right and ability to change competition dates when needed (due to rare and/or extenuating circumstances).
