Rodeo Entry Information WALK-UP REPLACEMENTS

Committees will have the option to implement the following “walk-up” replacement policy to the ground rules of their rodeo: “In addition to the ‘30-hour replacement’ policy, Procom will replace TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, and DO’s in compliance with the “30-hour replacement” policy 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. Alternate contestants will not be responsible to pay entry fees but will be responsible for the $21 PROCOM/administrative fee. This fee will be added to the contestant’s account after the rodeo. Stock will be drawn for the “30 Hour Replacement” and the “Walk Up Replacement” contestants after the check in deadline, 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 first available designated re- ride for that performance. 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). A contestant who did not enter the rodeo and who does not have a position on the alternate list, can also check in with the rodeo secretary prior to the walk up deadline by presenting his current active PRCA membership card to the rodeo secretary. After all of the turned out positions have been replaced by contestants who did have a position on the alternate list, any remaining turned out positions may be filled by current active PRCA contestants who did not have a position on the alternate list and who did check in with the rodeo secretary by the walk up deadline. If a contestant, who was not originally entered in the rodeo, is ineligible and competes at the rodeo, will have any money owed to the PRCA retained by the PRCA from his money won at that rodeo. 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 with the following exception. A contestant can compete at a rodeo as a replacement and at another rodeo with a “same day” conflict as long as he does not turn out of either rodeo. For example, if a contestant competes during a performance or slack at one rodeo then arrives and physically checks in with the rodeo secretary prior to the “walk up” deadline at another rodeo with a same day conflict, he will be allowed to compete at both rodeos. Or a contestant may be used as an alternate at one rodeo and then compete at another rodeo with a same day conflict in which he was already entered as long as he competes at both and does not turn out of the conflicting rodeo. 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 and fined $100 if he checks in with the secretary and competes as a replacement and then turns out of the rodeo with the “same day” conflict. Positions at other rodeos that are turned-out will be considered conflicts. STOCK DRAW AT TOUR RODEOS: Riding event stock for “Tour” rodeos will be drawn 7 days prior to the first performance of the rodeo with the following exception. If the stock contractor or a sub-contractor for a given rodeo is supplying stock for another rodeo that is not completed prior to the stock draw 7 days prior to the given rodeo, stock for the given rodeo will be drawn per the PRCA Rule Book (no later than 72 hours prior to the first performance.
