2018 money won. Next on the alternate list will be contestants who were drawn out of the rodeo due to qualifications based on their 2018 money won. A contestant who is placed in a position at another PRCA rodeo or event that conflicts with the San Antonio Xtreme Bulls Event will not be eligible to be used as an alternate. A contestant who had originally entered and was eligible at the time of entry may check-in with or call the arena secretary no later than 1 hour prior to the performance to confirm his availability and desire to be an alternate. If selected, an alternate will assume the competition position of the contestant that he is replacing and if stock has been drawn, he will receive the stock drawn by that contestant. If a contestant notifies a turn-out and is replaced by an alternate, the event will not count for the official rodeo count for the turned-out contestant. If he is not replaced the event will count towards the official rodeo count. In the case of a non-notified turn-out, the event will count towards the official rodeo count. If a contestant turns-out of a Div. 1 event after the stock draw and a replacement is not found, he will be charged a $500 turn-out fine. STOCK DRAW: Stock will be drawn at least 48 hours prior to the event. The event will count towards the official rodeo count for any contestant that turns-out after stock callbacks, whether the contestant is replaced or not. After all replacements have been made, any remaining available animals that were turned-out (includes DR’s and VIR’s) will be used as re-rides prior to using the designated re-ride(s). In the event that more re-rides are awarded than there are re-rides drawn, additional re- rides will be drawn from the animals in that pen (R10.3.4.3.3). FINALS STOCK: The order of the bulls to be used in the finals of an X-bulls event will be designated by the Bull Stock Manager and listed in order on the judges sheets prior to the first go- round of competition. The contestant with the lowest score will be listed first and the contestant with the highest score will be listed last with an animal already designated to the position. The order of any ties will be determined by a random draw by the judges. HONEST EFFORT: At any Div. 1 Xtreme Bull Riding Event, a contestant must make an honest effort to compete on the stock drawn for such contestant. If in the opinion of the Pro Official, the contestant has the opportunity to nod for the bull and does not, the contestant will be disqualified and suspended for the next two Div. 1 Xtreme Bull Riding Events. The determination of the Pro Official will be final. In addition to the disqualification, the fine will progressively double for each reoccurring offense. ALL CONTESTANTS - All contestants must be ready when called by judges and/or Chute Boss (in agreement with judges). Fines will be given at $250 for first offense and progressively doubling with each subsequent offense, and/or may be disqualified by the judges. If an individual is taking advantage of contestants in that event and/or the livestock and/or the rodeo production and/or not cooperating with the chute boss’ and judges’ instructions resulting in an attempt to cheat or influence the results of the event, to include but not limited to causing an animal to act up or be unruly in the chute in order to receive a re-ride, that individual will be disqualified by the judges from that round, and for subsequent offenses will be disqualified by the judges from that event for the remainder of the rodeo. Ready when called is defined as: BR - Contestant must be pulling rope when previous bull leaves the arena. Payoff for the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo will be done through the PRCA office. All contestants must sign a release of liability with the secretary before competing in

this rodeo. PAY-OFF: Payoff will be determined on highest marked scores. Pay-off for long go-round: 1st - $6,000, 2nd $5,000, 3rd $4,000, 4th $3,000, 5th $2,000, 6th $1,000. Pay-off for finals: 1st $30,000, 2nd $20,000, 3rd $10,000, 4th $8,000, 5th $6,000, 6th $3,000. Money won by any contestant in the finals will count toward PRCA World standings, Xtreme Bulls Tour standings, and Rookie of the Year standings. (provided the contestant has entered and competed at a minimum of forty (40) PRCA rodeos) Money won by a drawn back contestant in the finals will not count toward All Around standings, circuit standings, or toward a circuit rodeo count. ALL CONTESTANTS - If not enough contestants qualify for the number of places to be paid in an event, the remaining places shall be divided evenly among those contestants who did qualify (have a score), and the money will be posted as Championship points and count towards National Finals Rodeo qualification. If no one qualifies for prize money in an event, the prize money will be divided evenly among all who competed, and this money shall be considered ground money and will not be posted as Championship points and will not count towards National Finals Rodeo qualification. NOTE - The event champion will be determined by most money won at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Division 1 Xtreme Bulls Event. NOTE: In order for money won in Xtreme Bulls competition (including Div. 2 qualifying events) to count for the 2019 National Finals Rodeo or the 2019 Rookie of the Year Standings, during the 2019 season, a contestant must have entered and competed at a minimum of forty (40) PRCA rodeos. Money won will count for the PRCA World Standings and the Xtreme Bulls Standings. It will not count for All Around standings, circuit standings or towards a circuit rodeo count. STK.
