If stock has not yet been drawn, the contestant will be drawn an animal by CRES 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 ensure that there are the same number of animals and contestants for that performance. If not enough contestants to fil contestant list have competed at their required rodeos, the CPRA will role back to the top of the standings and fill in members with the highest ranked contestant without rodeo count. (Money will not count to PRCA world standings or be eligible for NFR open position without rodeo count). * If a contestant notifies a turn-out, DR or visible release and is replaced by an alternate, the alternate contestant will be responsible for the entry fees.
