Change B15.1.10 Special Consideration for Excess Entries. Any Rodeo Committee desiring special consideration to modify entry rules to alleviate an excess number of entries must request such special consideration on the application for approval, and such special consideration must be approved by the Director of Rodeo Administration. (C. Townsend submitted 4/18)

Change B1.5.12.3.2 Other Requirements. A) Minimum Livestock. All Stock Contractors and Probationary Stock Contractors must

own a minimum of 25 bareback horses, 25 saddle bronc horses and 25 bulls, a record of which must be submitted annually to the Director of Rodeo Administration two weeks prior to their first PRCA rodeo or PRCA sanctioned event or February 1, whichever is earlier. The Director of Rodeo Administration may require a Full Stock Contractor Member or Probationary Stock Contractor to submit proof of 100% 51% ownership of any or all bucking stock. Failure to provide proof of ownership when requested will result in a $250 fine and any animal in question will not be eligible to be placed in the draw at a PRCA sanctioned rodeo until proof of ownership is established. During the rodeo year, Stock Contractors will notify the Director of Rodeo Administration of any additions and/or deletions to the Stock Contractor livestock list a minimum of ten (10) days prior to any of those animals being placed in the draw at a PRCA rodeo or PRCA sanctioned event. Failure to notify the Director of Rodeo Administration of changes within the time frame listed above will result in the subject animals being ineligible to be placed in the draw at PRCA-sanctioned rodeos and a fine of $100 per animal. (H. Franzen submitted 6/18) New Bylaw B15.1.15.1 A rodeo committee adding less than $1000 per event, must have equal money in the team roping. (M. Egusquiza submitted 7/18) Change B15.1.15.1 Minimum Purse Money Added by a Rodeo. To receive PRCA approval, all Rodeo Committees must add at least $250 per required event (including the team roping heading and heeling), per performance, or $500 per required event at a one-performance rodeo. (M. Egusquiza submitted 7/18) Change B15.3.1 Featured Events. No PRCA required event shall have more or less money added to that event’s purse than is added to the purse of any other PRCA event at a PRCA-approved rodeo unless otherwise approved by the PRCA Board of Directors or the Director of Rodeo Administration. However, a Rodeo Committee shall have the option of adding money to the purse for up to three events selected by the Rodeo Committee to be its featured event or events in an amount that is double the base money added by the Rodeo Committee to the purses of the other PRCA events approved for the rodeo (such base added money in the other events shall not, for purposes of determining the double money, include those events whose purse is compensated for limited entries). Any additional moneys which may be added in order to double the purse of a featured event or events at the Rodeo Committee’s election shall not be considered by the Director of Rodeo Administration in the determination of the amount of “fair and just” money to be added by the Rodeo Committee to the purses of the other PRCA events. Moreover, any Rodeo Committee electing to double the added purse money in a given event or events may not, without the approval of the PRCA Board of Directors, reduce the base added money for the other PRCA events held at its rodeo from that which was added by the Rodeo Committee to those events in the previous year. If a rodeo features an event, they must add equal money in the team roping.  (M. Egusquiza submitted 7/18) Add B15.5 Tournament Style Rodeo with a Finals. A tournament style rodeo is any format that moves contestants on to preceding go-rounds from individual performances or sections and not overall rodeo standings. A Rodeo Committee requesting to hold a tournament style rodeo must add at least $750,000 purse money collectively for all PRCA events (including steer roping). Existing rodeos of this format have until 2020 to comply. (M. Reeves submitted 2/19)
