No other exemptions will be accepted. The top 38 eligible headers and the top 38 heelers based on 2019 PRCA World Standings as of 7 days prior to entry closing that enter will be accepted. If the two PPOBR exemptions are already in the top 38 or do not enter, the next two in the 2019 World Standings will be accepted. The 40 headers that qualify must rope with the 40 heelers that qualify. If a contestants partner is drawn out due to qualifications, the contestant who qualified will not be allowed to draw out. A partner will be drawn for him at random from the other contestants whose partners have been drawn out due to qualifications. If a header or a heeler TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, or DO’S prior to the 30-hour deadline, leaving an incomplete team, the next contestant in the corresponding category (header or heeler) on the alternate list established by PROCOM will be added to the team. If a notification is not made prior to the 30-hour deadline, the remaining partner may select another partner from among any of the PRCA event contestants already entered at the rodeo, except those scheduled to compete in the TR. FORMAT - There will be four qualifying performances, July 10-13, with 10 contestants (or teams) in each event in each performance plus a semi-finals round at 7 PM on July 13 consisting of 8 contestants (or teams) in each event, followed by the Championship CINCH Gold Buckle round which will consist of the top 3 highest scores or fastest times in each event from the semi-finals round. The two highest scores in each event from each qualifying performance will advance to the semi-finals round. In the event that there are not two qualified rides or times in a single performance, the next highest score(s) or fastest time(s) from other performances not qualified for the semi-finals round will advance. Also, if a contestant who qualified for the semi-finals round must turn-out due to a doctor’s release or a visible injury release, that contestant will be replaced by the next available highest ranked contestant from the same respective qualifying performance. If there are no other qualified rides or times in that respective qualifying performance the contestant with the next highest score or fastest time from other qualifying performances will be offered the position. If that contestant does not accept the position or cannot be contacted, the contestant with the next highest score or fastest time will be offered the position. This procedure will be followed until all positions are filled. In the Championship CINCH Gold Buckle round, the three riding event animals in each event will be drawn an order and contestants will be matched to the drawn animals based on their placing’s in the semi-finals round. The number one contestant will be matched with the first drawn animal, etc. In the CINCH Gold Buckle Round, a contestant may compete on the same animal on which he competed during a qualifying performance. In the CINCH Gold Buckle round, in the timed events, the 3 contestants (or teams) will compete in reverse order of their placings in the semi finals. Animals that were selected by the event representatives and the committee will be randomly drawn to those positions prior to the beginning of the last performance.

RIDING EVENTS - Riding event stock will be drawn by PROCOM a minimum of 24 hours in advance to each respective round. Any re-rides granted must be taken during the same performance. In the event that there are more re-rides awarded than there are re-ride animals, additional re-ride animals will be drawn from the original performance herd (animals used in that respective performance). TIMED EVENTS - If a calf or steer is obviously injured during competition, the run will be stopped immediately by the judge. The contestant will be required to maintain control of the calf or steer until the timed event chute boss or the PPOBR veterinarian excuses him. If the judges stops the run due to animal injury, the contestant or team will be granted a re-run (whether the animal was actually injured or not). If a timed event animal escapes or a re-run is granted for any other reason, the extra will automatically be used and become part of the herd, and the escaped animal will become the extra.
