Rodeo Entry Information
Walk-up Replacements
ATTENTION COMMITTEES:
Committees will have the option to implement the following “walk-up” replacement rule to the ground rules of their rodeo:
“In addition to the ‘30-hour replacement’ rule, Procom will replace TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, and DO’s in compliance with the
“30-hour replacement” rule up to the turn out deadline for each performance (3 hours prior to the performance). At this point
in time, the secretary will receive the notified TO’s and DR’s for that performance along with the alternate list established by
Procom for each event in which contestants were drawn out due to qualification or due to using the ‘no same day’ preference
or the ‘replace me’ parameter. All TO’s, DR’s, VIR’s, or DO’s (including contestants who notified after the 30-hour deadline,
but before the 3 hour turn out deadline) may be replaced by contestants on the alternate list. Contestants who desire to be
accepted as alternates must physically check in with the rodeo secretary no later than 2 hours prior to the performance. Stock
will be drawn for these contestants at that time, from a pool of animals consisting of the animals drawn by the contestants who
notified turn-outs through Procom (includes DR’s, VIR’s, and DO’s) and the designated re-ride (if still available). If more than
one position is being replaced within a performance or slack, the order that each are replaced will be determined by random
draw. If more contestants check in with the rodeo secretary than there are positions available, the contestants accepted will be
determined by their order on the alternate list (established by Procom). Contestants who are placed in a position at another
PRCA rodeo or event on the same day as the position being replaced will not be eligible to be an alternate for that position.
Conflicting positions for each alternate will also be listed on the alternate list.”
“A contestant will be responsible to know his conflicting rodeos and will be disqualified if he checks in with the secretary and
competes as a replacement if he has a same day conflict with that position at another PRCA rodeo or event. Positions at other
rodeos that are turned-out will be considered conflicts.”
ATTENTION CONTESTANTS - Effective for all 2017 rodeos
NO CONFLICTS POLICY
RIDING EVENTS ONLY - Contestants will not be allowed to give preferences that conflict with positions at other PRCA
Rodeos or Events based on the “No Same Performance” guidelines (this includes 1st and 2nd preferences). If a contestant gives a
conflicting preference (1st or 2nd preference) at the time of entry, he will be drawn out. If a contestant does not give a conflicting
preference, and is placed in a position that conflicts with another PRCA rodeo or Event due to the process of not receiving either
his first or second preference he will remain placed in that position, and allowed the opportunity to find a first go-round trade.
Furthermore, a contestant will not be allowed a first go-round trade into a position that conflicts with that contestant’s position
at another PRCA Rodeo or Event based on the “NSP” guidelines. (The validity of all trade requests will be checked for conflicts
prior to processing.) Conflicts with Canadian rodeos will not be checked.
A “No Same Performance” conflict is defined as: A performance or slack with a start time of 12:00 AM through 11:59 AM is
considered a morning performance or slack. A performance or slack with a start time of 12:00 through 5:59 PM is considered
a matinee performance or slack. And a performance or slack with a start time of 6:00 PM through 11:59 PM is considered an
evening performance. Contestants can still use “NSD (No Same Day)” or “NSP (No Same Performance)” as a second preference
and will be placed in positions accordingly. If the NSD or NSP is used while entering a given rodeo, only the original position
(drawn by PROCOM) at a rodeo with conflicting dates will be checked for conflicts, if a first go-round trade has not been
finalized and processed by PROCOM. Once a first go-round trade has been verified and confirmed, (which will be processed
immediately after both involved parties have confirmed through PROCOM) then conflicts with the new traded position can
be checked. Contestants’ preferences at a given rodeo will be checked for conflicts at the end of the grace period. If a NSD or
NSP preference is used, a contestant will not be placed in a conflicted position. If any one contestant in a buddy group has a
conflict, the entire buddy group will be drawn out, if the NSD or NSP preference is used as a second preference. If contestants
in a buddy group do not use the NSD or NSP preference, a buddy group may be split if one or more members of the buddy
group is conflicted at another PRCA rodeo or event with the preference(s) given at the time of entry, and is drawn out while the
others remain placed in the rodeo since they are not conflicted. This does not apply to multi-event buddy groups, since the same
performance or slack in all events is not always guaranteed. A contestant can add a parameter with his entry at the time of entry
“to draw out of all events if drawn out of one,” or “draw me out if any of my buddies are drawn out.”

TIMED EVENTS - Contestants who give slack as a first preference are no longer required to give a performance as their second
preference. They are allowed to give a specific slack, generic slack, or the middle for their first preference and another specific
slack for a second preference. All other preferences, parameters, and the “No Same Day” and “No Same Preference” policies that
have been allowed in the past will remain the same.
