PRCA MEMBER BULLETIN BOARD

ALL PRCA MEMBERS REVISION TO PRCA PATCH PROGRAM

ATTENTION CONTESTANTS

Effective Immediately, PRCA members that have been registered by CINCH with PRCA Properties for participation in the PRCA Patch Program as of August 17, 2018 are now allowed to wear CINCH branded apparel in a PRCA Competition Arena or at a PRCA Special Event, provided that such branding conforms to the size and locations specified in the PRCA Patch Program Rules.

ATTENTION MEMBERS No duplicate award buckles (i.e. NFR go-round) will be made by Montana Silversmiths except under extenuating circumstances, and then a letter will have to be submitted to the Properties Dept. If a request is accepted, the charge for the buckle will be retail. There will be no award buckles made that are not listed in the PRCA/ Montana Silversmiths contract. Then again, if an exception is to be made, it will have to be authorized by the Properties Dept.

ALL PRCA MEMBERS Nominate now for the PRCA Donita Barnes Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award. This award was created to recognize PRCA members who have dedicated their lives to the rodeo industry for their commitment, work and contributions. Nomination letters of 500 words or less can be mailed to the PRCA, 101 ProRodeo Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 or e-mail Nathan Vodehnal at nvodehnal@prorodeo.com between now and August 1.

ATTENTION ALL CONTESTANTS

As of October 1, 2019 (beginning of 2020 season) the long listings will no longer be provided in the ProRodeo Sports News Business Journal section of the monthly publication. The business journal long listings will be available in our official online digital issues updated bi-weekly.

THE FOLLOWING WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE 2019/2020 SEASON The 2019 individual Circuit Finals Steer Roping events (Badlands, Columbia River, Montana, Mountain States, Prairie, Texas, Turquoise) and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Rop- ing will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. These events will be Official Entry Rodeos (contestant must designate unofficial). If a contestant has not met the required participation count it will be an automatic unofficial entry rodeo for that contestant and will not count toward 2020 World Standings or qualification rodeos. For any Steer Rop- ing Circuit Finals Rodeo that occurs prior to the 2019 regular season cutoff date, money won at those circuit finals rodeos will count toward the 2020 World Standings and qualifications. Official money won at the 2019 Circuit Finals Steer Roping and the 2020 National Circuit Finals Steer Roping will not count toward the All-Around.

ATTENTION ALL CONTESTANTS The 2019 Circuit Required Participation Counts have been adjusted. Please review the counts located in the PRCA Business Section of the PBJ.
