INCENTIVE CALF ROPING

1. The NMRA has a three member panel that will clarify if you are an incentive or open calf roper. The three man panel does not have to be unanimous; two of the three must be in agreement. The panel has the right to evaluate and move any roper at any time throughout the rodeo season. All contestants wishing to be incentive calf ropers will need to submit an incentive application each year along with a $25.00 processing fee.

2. Any contestant wishing to enter a NMRA rodeo must have an incentive application filled out, submitted to the state secretary and approved one (1) week prior to entries closing for said rodeo to the lead sanctioned association.

3. If you are classified as an incentive calf roper and you win $600.00 in the open calf roping within the first two-thirds of the season, you will be moved into the open calf roping. The money won in the incentive calf roping is not transferable to the open calf roping standings. Any incentive roper moved to the open calf roping within the first two-thirds of the season will not be eligible to enter the finals as an incentive roper regardless of year end standings.

4. Any member in good standings that is over the age of sixty (60) years old will qualify as an incentive calf roper regardless of ability.

5. To be moved out of the open calf roping and into the incentive calf roping a written appeal along with a completed application and a $25 processing fee must be sent to the NMRA office for review by the three member panel.

6. 20% of the incentive entry fee money is to be added to the open payoff.
