Incentive Events

1. Incentive events are included for Team Roping and Barrel Racing. Directors will use the pay-offs listed for their event, with added money split and rules determined by each Director.

2. In the event that there are fewer qualified rides or times than there are places to pay, payment will be made on qualified rides and times only. The Secretary will use guidelines specified in the rulebook to make pay-off.

3. If there are no qualified times in the Incentive Team Roping event all of money goes into the Open Team Roping. If there are no qualified times in the Open Team Roping, the winners of the Incentive Team Roping will also win the Open money.

4. Secretary’s on site can no longer call the USTRC to verify contestant’s card and handicap number. Ropers MUST have proof of current card and card number when checking in with the secretary at the rodeo or they will rope as an open team. If they are already entered two times in the open their team will be dropped from the rodeo and entry fee refunded. CES fees will not be refunded.
