work on that permit, for up to 5 PRCA events. The evaluation will be completed by a saddle bronc or bareback contestant event
representative (or someone of their designation). However, the contestant event representative will physically sign off on the
evaluation. If for any reason the contestant event representative (or his designee) does not evaluate the permit pickup man within
the 5 given rodeos, they may reapply for another permit which gives them an additional 5 rodeos (at no additional cost).
ADD B1.5.7.4 Requirements to Become a Pickup Man. Upon evaluation and approval by the contestant event representative,
applicant may submit for a non-contestant pickup man card at the cost of $500. If the permit was purchased within the same rodeo
season, they will pay the difference for the card. If they do not have a successful evaluation, the permit will be immediately revoked
and that person cannot pickup and any other PRCA event following the rodeo in which they are evaluated. They may re-apply in
one calendar year and pay all applicable fees to begin the process again.
ADD B1.5.7.5 Insurance Fee. Pick-up men shall be subject to the insurance fee as set forth in Section B1.5.1.3.
ADD B1.5.7.6 Special Event Eligibility. A permit member may not apply or work any type of finals rodeo until evaluated,
approved and purchased a card.
ADD B1.5.7.7 Emergency Procedures. In the event that a pick up man gets injured at a rodeo, the stock contractor has one
performance which can be deemed an emergency. By the second performance held during that rodeo, they must hire a replacement
pickup man with a PRCA card. Failure to do so will be $250 fine per performance, doubling with each occurrence. (J. Edwards

New bylaw B15.8.4. Any member that is using copyrighted photographs from member photographers without proper authority and
using said photos in any form (social media, personal websites) will be subject to the following penalties:
First offense, $50 fine per photo used without permission
Second offense, $150 fine per photo used
Third offense, $300 fine per photo used
Any further offense, fines remain at $300 per photo. It is the photographers’ responsibility to document misuse of photographs
being used without proper authority. Photographer receives half of each fine for loss of revenue. (R. Freeman submitted 11/15)
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 two or more events, then they must add equal money in the team roping. (G. Tonozzi submitted 4/16)
