qualifier. If a contestant qualifies in both the 2019 and the 2020 money won categories, he will assume the position among the 2019 qualifiers. FORMAT: Two go-rounds, back to back, perf to perf, will fill the first 16 performances (10 per performance). The top 24 in the average after the first two go-rounds will advance to a progressive go-round which will consist of the 17th, 18th, and 19th performances occurring on Saturday, January 25 (8 per performance). Contestants will be randomly drawn into to the 24 available positions. If ties result in more than 24 contestants (or teams) qualified to advance, the tie will be broken by the single fastest time in a go-round. If still tied, all will be accepted. The top 4 from each of the progressive performances will advance to the finals on Sunday, January 26th (20th performance). If ties in a progressive performance result in more than 4 contestants qualified to advance, the contestant ranked highest in the average at that point will advance. If still tied, the tie will be broken by the single fastest time in a go-round. If still tied, all will be accepted. If there are less than 4 qualified times in one or more of the progressive performances, the contestant with the next fastest time in the other progressive performances, who has not already qualified in the top 4 of his respective performance, will advance. If there are less than 12 total qualifies times in the three progressive performances, the remaining positions in the finals (not to exceed 12) will be filled by the contestant with the highest ranking in the average after the first two go-rounds. If there is a tie, the contestant with the fastest single time in either go-round will advance. PAY-OFF: After the 6% is retained for the PRCA, 20% of the total remaining purse will be allotted to each of the first two go-rounds, 35% will be allotted for all three of the progressive performances (one third of the 35% to each performance), and 25% will be allotted for the finals. The first two go-rounds and the finals will pay 8 place in accordance with the rulebook. The three progressive performances will each pay 4 places. If there are less than 4 qualified rides or times in a progressive performance, the amount allotted for the remaining places will be divided evenly among the contestants who did have a qualified time, and will be considered ground money (see R5.5.3). If there are still less than 8 contestants who did not have a qualified score or time in the finals, the remaining places will be paid based on the highest ranking in the average after the first two go-rounds and the progressive. All money paid out will count towards World standings. STK.

All re- entries will be accepted to fill the vacant positions 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.
