Delete R1.7.5 Verification of Unofficial Entry . Verification of “unofficial entry” will be conveyed to each contestant who has designated a rodeo as an unofficial entry no later than 14 days following entry closing time of the given rodeo. Verification, or protest, must be returned within 14 days of the date of the notification. If no protest is made by the contestant within 14 days of the date designated on the notification, earnings will stand as posted. (RCEC 2/22) New R2.12.3.8 Trade Restrictions A contestant will not be allowed to enter another contestant or team for the sole purpose of obtaining a position in a rodeo to be used later as a first go-round trade or to affect the placement of a rodeo by PROCOM. Any contestant in violation of this offense or any contestant who willingly permits his card number to be used for this purpose, may be subject to a $10,000 fine and a possible 30-day suspension. (M. Sherwood 9/2021) New R2.12.3.9 Limit on Trades A contestant can only initiate or confirm a first go-round trade with the same person one time per rodeo year. (M Sherwood 9/2021) Delete R4.13.3 Monies Due the PRCA . Should the “For Secretary Use” sheet indicate that the Arena Secretary owes money to the PRCA, that money must be submitted to the PRCA postmarked no later that the first business day following the competition of the rodeo. (PRCA Staff 3/21) Delete R5.7.1.4 Payoff. Day-money checks shall be written at the end of each performance if the performance competition has been completed. (PRCA Staff 5/20) Delete R5.9.5 Payoff. Day-money checks shall be written at the end of each performance if the performance competition has been completed . (PRCA Staff 5/20) Change R10.3.21 Failure of Animal to Pull Neck Rope . In the timed events, if an animal fails to break the neck rope and time is officially started by the contestant, that animal belongs to the contestant. A contestant cannot rope an animal before the neck rope comes off. However, if time is started by the animal and contestant (tie down roper, steer roper, steer wrestler and hazer, or header and heeler) remains behind the plane of the barrier for approximately 10 seconds, that animal should be considered a sulking animal and replaced using the Misdraw procedure . an animal starts the time and then stops before the neck rope comes off and the contestant declares immediately, he will be entitled to a rerun, as long as in the opinion of the judges, the stop was not caused by the hazer or the heeler. (M. Sherwood 11/2021) 2023 Bylaw Proposals Change B2.3.5.1 Application of Money Won While a Permit Member . Money won while a Permit Member will not count toward the World Championship standings or toward qualification for competition at the National Finals Rodeo unless a Contestant Card is purchased within 30 days of filling a permit; regardless of the individual’s status when he entered the rodeo. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) will contact permit holder who then has 30 days to purchase his Contestant Card. If not purchased within 30 days, the individual will remain on permit status for the remainder of the rodeo season. Money won while a Permit Member will count toward circuit points for qualification for competition at the Circuit Finals Rodeos, including the National Circuit Finals Rodeo, only. No money won while a Permit Member will count toward Rookie of the Year awards in either national standings or circuit standings. (T. Reeves, 2/22)
