Rodeo Entry Information 30-HOUR REPLACEMENT RULE

ALL EVENTS: A DR, VIR, or a notified TO can be replaced by an alternate from a list of contestants that were drawn out as a result of using the “no same day” or “no same performance” preferences or due to qualifications or permit maximum, as long as the notification is made through PROCOM at least 30 hours prior to the scheduled performance (or slack) in which the contestant is being replaced. Notifications made after the “30-hour” deadline will not be replaced and notifications on record with PROCOM at the 30-hour deadline will be final. Replacements must be made prior to the first go- round of competition. In the team roping, a team will only be replaced it both partners of the team notify a DR, VIR, TO or DO following the same guidelines as applied in the other events. If only one member of the team notifies and his partner chooses to compete, his partner can find a replacement partner per rule R6.4. If stock has already been drawn in the riding events, the judges will draw an animal for the alternate contestant, after the TO deadline for that performance, from a pool consisting of the animal drawn by the contestant that he is replacing, any other turned out animals (which includes NTO’s, DR’s, and VIR’s), and the first designated re- ride for that performance that is still available. If stock has not yet been drawn, the contestant will be drawn an animal by PROCOM during the scheduled stock draw time. Animals that are turned out (includes NTO’s, DR’s, and VIR’s) will not be included in the re-ride draw until after the TO deadline (3 hours prior to the performance) and replacements for that performance have been made, to insure that there are the same number of animals and contestants for that performance. ALTERNATE LIST (for events that add $5,000 or more) Contestants who were drawn out due to using the “NSD” or “NSP” preferences or who were drawn out due to using the “replace me if I don’t get my preference” parameter will be the first to be considered RIDING EVENTS: Re-entries will be accepted at limited entry rodeos where the actual entries accepted during the original entry period were less than the limit. Also, if there was not a limit for an event, and there were not enough entries after the original entry period to place at least 12 contestants in each performance, re-entries will be accepted. A time period will be designated and published in the Business Journal in the ground rules of each rodeo for the entries to be 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. 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) or 12 per performance at a rodeo that did not limit its entries (based on a random draw.) TIMED EVENTS: Re-entries will be accepted for events that did Each committee will have the option to implement the “Re-entries Policy” at its rodeo at the time of approval.

as alternates in the order that they originally qualified for the rodeo or event. Contestants who entered during the original entry period and were drawn out due to qualifications will be considered next. For rodeos or events that start prior to May 1, 2020, alternates will be selected based on 2019 money won. For rodeos or events that start on or after May 1, 2020, alternates will be selected based on 2020 money won, as of 7 days prior to entry closing. If an alternate is scheduled to compete at another PRCA rodeo or event during a performance that has a “same day” conflict with the position for which he is being considered as a replacement, he will not be eligible to be an alternate for that position. If a contestant does not accept an available position or is not eligible for a position due to a conflict during a performance, he will remain on the alternate list in the same order for any other positions that may become available. If the alternate accepts a position, he must turn out of the conflicting position at that time. ALTERNATE LIST (for events that add less than $5,000) Contestants who were drawn out due to using the “NSD” or “NSP” preferences or who were drawn out due to using the “replace me if I don’t get my preference” parameter will be the first to be considered as alternates in the order that they originally qualified for the rodeo or event. Next in the order, on the alternate list, will be a random draw of all contestants with “money won”, followed by a random draw of all contestants with no “money won”. Only contestants who entered during the original entry period will be considered as alternates. Due to “featured” events and “equal money” in the team roping, some rodeos may be using both types of alternate lists for different events. not have enough entries to place at least 10 contestants in each performance. Contestants that enter during the re-entry period will be placed in the remaining available positions. 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) or 10 contestants per performance at a rodeo that did not limit its entries (based on a random draw.) ALL EVENTS: A contestant that re-enters will not be placed in a position that conflicts with his position at another PRCA rodeo or event. Further, a contestant placed in slack during the original placement of a rodeo may request a trade into an open position in a paid performance during the re-entry time. Re-entries will not be accepted if an event is declared “no contest” due to the lack of entries at the original entry closing time. At the sole discretion of the PRCA and/or stock contractor, a re- entry may not be accepted.

ProRodeo Sports News 1/8/2021

Rodeo Entry Information WALK-UP REPLACEMENTS ATTENTION COMMITTEES:

Committees will have the option to implement the following “walk-up” replacement rule to the ground rules of their rodeo: “In addition to the ‘30-hour replacement’ rule, Procom will replace TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, and DO’s in compliance with the “30-hour replacement” rule up to the turn out deadline for each performance (3 hours prior to the performance). At this point in time, the secretary will receive the notified TO’s and DR’s for that performance along with the alternate list established by Procom for each event in which contestants were drawn out due to qualification or due to using the ‘no same day’ preference or the ‘replace me’ parameter. All TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, or DO’s (including contestants who notified after the 30-hour deadline, but before the 3 hour turn out deadline) may be replaced by contestants on the alternate list. Contestants who desire to be accepted as alternates must physically check in with the rodeo secretary no later than 2 hours prior to the performance. Stock will be drawn for these contestants at that time, from a pool of animals consisting of the animals drawn by the contestants who notified turn-outs through Procom (includes DR’s, VIR’s, and DO’s) and the designated re-ride (if still available). If more than one position is being replaced within a performance or slack, the order that each are replaced will be determined by random draw. If more contestants check in with the rodeo secretary than there are positions available, the contestants accepted will be determined by their order on the alternate list (established by Procom). Contestants who are placed in a position at another PRCA rodeo or event on the same day as the position being replaced will not be eligible to be an alternate for that position. Conflicting positions for each alternate will also be listed on the alternate list.” “A contestant will be responsible to know his conflicting rodeos and will be disqualified if he checks in with the secretary and competes as a replacement if he has a same day conflict with that position at another PRCA rodeo or event. Positions at other rodeos that are turned-out will be considered conflicts.”

ATTENTION CONTESTANTS Rodeo Entry Information

NSD (“NO SAME DAY”) AND NSP (“NO SAME PERFORMANCE”) PREFERENCES The NSD (“No Same Day”) and NSP (“No Same Performance”) preferences can ensure that a contestant will not be placed to compete at two or more different PRCA rodeos either on the same day or within the same performance time frame. For the purpose of the NSP (“No Same Performance”) preference, performance (or slack) start times will be defined as: 12:00 AM through 11:59 AM as a morning performance or slack, 12:00 PM through 5:59 PM as a matinee performance or slack, and 6:00 PM through 11:59 PM as a night performance or slack. Only conflicts with other PRCA sanction rodeos or events will be checked. Conflicts with Canadian rodeo will NOT be checked. The contestant must give, at the time of entry, a specific performance or slack, generic slack, or the middle as a first preference to use the NSD or NSP as a second preference. Conflicts will not be checked if a contestant receives his first preference (the contestant will be responsible for not creating a conflict by giving a conflicting first preference). If a contestant does not receive his first preference, he will be placed in the first available non- conflicted position or be drawn out (if a non-conflicted position is not available), if and only if he gives an NSD or NSP as a second preference. Only the first go-round of a two or more go-round rodeo will be checked for conflicts with the exception of back to back formats or where the second or subsequent go-round cannot be traded. If trades for subsequent go-rounds at a specific rodeo will not be allowed, conflicts will be checked for all go-rounds at that rodeo (this does not apply to progressives and finals). Where the PRCA rulebook allows, second and subsequent go-round trades will be done through the rodeo secretary. If the NSD or NSP is used while entering a given rodeo, only the original position (drawn by PROCOM) at a rodeo with conflicting dates will be checked for conflicts, if a first go-round trade has not been finalized and processed by PROCOM. Once the first go-round trade has been verified and processed by PROCOM, then conflicts with the new traded position can be checked. If a NSD or NSP preference is used, a contestant will not be placed in a conflicted position, he will be drawn out. If any one contestant in a buddy group has a conflict, the entire buddy group will be drawn out. If either team roping partner has a conflict, both team roping partners will be drawn out. This does not apply to multi- event buddy groups, since the same performance or slack in all events is not always guaranteed. The contestant may receive a non-conflicted position in one event and not in another. In this case the contestant can add a parameter with his entry at the time of entry to “draw out of all events, if drawn out of one due to the NSD or NSP preferences.” For rodeos that have conflicting dates, the entries for the rodeos with the largest amount of total added money will generally close first. Therefore, a contestant will be placed in a rodeo with a larger purse first and then placed in the rodeo with the smaller purse if a non-conflicting position is available. Contestants who give slack as a first preference are no longer required to give a performance as a second preference. Instead, contestants will also be allowed to give a specific slack, generic slack, or the middle for their first preference and another specific slack for a second preference. All other preferences and parameters that have been allowed in the past will remain the same.

advance to the qualifying rodeo in an event with two go-rounds, the contestant (or team) with the single highest score or fastest time in a either go-round will advance. If still tied, a random draw will determine who advances. If ties result in more than 24 to advance to the Qualifying Rodeo in an event with one go-round, a random draw will determine who advances. The Qualifying Rodeo will consist of 4 performances. The 24 contestants will compete during the first three performances (8 per performance). The top 3 contestants or teams from each of the first 3 performances will advance to Semifinals (9 total in the Semifinals) held during the fourth performance. If there are less than 3 contestants or teams with a qualified score or time in any of the first three performances, the contestant or team with the next highest score or fastest time from the other two performances will advance. If tied, the contestant or team with the highest qualification ranking from the Sandhills Rodeo (based on highest scores or fastest times) will advance (not to exceed 9). If there are less than 9 total contestants or teams with a qualified score or time in the first three performances, the contestant with the next highest qualification ranking from the Sandhills Rodeo (based on highest scores or fastest times) will advance (not to exceed 9). The top 4 contestants or teams (based on highest scores or fastest times), will advance to the Top 4 Chute Out Round also held during the fourth performance after the completion of the Semifinals. If there are less than 4 qualified scores or times in an event in the Semifinals, the contestant or team with the highest score or fastest time in the long go-round will advance.

A split team due to the original qualification for the San Antonio Rodeo of only one partner of a team may result in only one partner of team (header or heeler) being accepted among the 24 headers or 24 heelers. The contestant without a partner will be allowed to select a partner from among the other headers or heelers that do not have a partner as long as they notify PROCOM prior to entry closing.
