submitted 3/19) Change R1.3.3.4 Central Entry Office Fee. At which time PRCA event contestant pays entry fees, he will also pay a $5 $7 Central Entry Office fee. This fee will not be added to the payoff but will revert to the PRCA National Office. (PRCA staff submitted 4/19) Change R1.4.3 Minimum Go-Rounds in Timed Events for Rodeos with Four or More Performances. Rodeos that have four or more performances must have at least two go-rounds in a timed event if the number of Contestant Card Member entries in that event is less than the following (unless otherwise approved at time of rodeo approval): (a) 75 Contestant Card Member entries at a four performance rodeo; (b) 90 Contestant Card Member entries at a five performance rodeo; or (c) 105 Contestant Card Member entries at a six performance rodeo. A rodeo with seven or more performances must have a minimum of two go- rounds. Local entries and Permit Member entries shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether this Rule applies. Notwithstanding any Bylaw or Official Rodeo Rule to the contrary, for purposes of this Rule R1.4.3, a finals shall be considered a performance. The number of Contestant Card Member entries in an event and the number of go-rounds for the event will be determined before the parameters are applied. Once the parameters are applied, an entry who is drawn out of the rodeo due to his parameter will not be placed back into the rodeo. For example, if 80 Contestant Card Members enter a timed event at a four performance rodeo, and ten of those entries submit the parameter “out if one go-round,” the event may be only one go- round (based on the number of Contestant Card Member entries before the parameters are applied) and the ten Contestant Card Members using the “out if one go-round” parameter will be drawn out of (and will not be placed back into) the rodeo. (PRCA staff submitted 4/19) Change R1.5.6 Replace Me. “Replace me if I don’t get my performance preference and if a replacement is available” will be accepted at time of entry. If no replacement is available, contestant will be drawn out of the rodeo if a replacement is available. Replacement shall be defined as any contestant drawn out due to permits maximum or qualifications. If more contestants give this parameter than the number of available replacements, a random draw will determine which of the contestants is replaced. Replacements will be accepted as follows: 1) In a qualification rodeo, according to qualification procedures; and will be subject to preferences and parameters listed in the potential replacement’s original entry. 2) Otherwise, by random draw, and will be subject to preferences and parameters listed in the potential replacement’s original entry. A replacement who has given a “no preference” parameter at time of entry will be accepted if he is one of the first drawn in the random draw.
