The following passed at the March 2017 BOD meeting
Change B12.2.2 Submission of Challenge. Within 10 PRCA National Office business days after an audit of PRCA Official
Standings, a “Point Audit Challenge Opportunity” letter shall be mailed made available to the top 30 Contestant Card Members
or Life Members in each event (top 30 Contestant Card Member or Life Member team roping headers and top 30 Contestant Card
Member or Life Member team roping heelers) according to the PRCA Official Standings. Contestants wishing to challenge the
PRCA standings calculation after the rodeo-year-end cutoff date (either with respect to their own winnings or those of another)
must submit a formal letter of challenge to the Director of Rodeo Administration, setting forth fully the basis of the challenge.
Such challenge must be received by the PRCA Director of Rodeo Administration no later than fourteen business days after the
corresponding rodeo year-end cutoff date. If a Member desires to file a challenge the result of which, if successful, could be a
change in the Official Standings for a rodeo, event or sponsorship award which has a Cutoff Date other than the rodeo-year-end
Cutoff Date, and the Member desires that any resulting changes in Official Standings be made in time to affect qualification for
such rodeo, event or sponsorship award, such challenge must be received by the Director of Rodeo Administration no later than
14 calendar days after the end of the corresponding Cutoff Date for that rodeo, event or sponsorship award. If the 14th day after a
Cutoff Date falls on a non-PRCA National Office Business Day, then the challenge must be received no later than the next PRCA
National Office Business Day. Likewise, a successful challenge may result in a change in the Official Standings for one rodeo,
event or sponsorship award for which the challenge was timely filed, but no change in the Official Standings for another rodeo,
event or sponsorship award for which the challenge was not timely filed (for example, a successful challenge may impact the
Official Standings for the NFR, but if that challenge is filed more than 14 days after the Cutoff Date for a CFR, the corresponding
change will not be made in the Official Standings for that CFR).
