CONTESTANTS FOR FINALS DETERMINED AS FOLLOWS:
(1) Must be member in good standing (no outstanding turnouts or fines); and (2) Must have attended 4 or more GCPRA Lead Sanction rodeos (Lake Havasu, Membership Drive Rodeo's (2), Needles, Cottonwood, Globe, Sonoita, St Johns, Duncan, Holbrook, Willcox, Benson)
Only contestants who fully qualify for the Finals (meet criteria as listed above and enter the Finals) are eligible for Year End Champion Awards. HOWEVER, every contestant competes for Finals buckles and cash awards.
After positions are filled with contestants under the above conditions, any unfilled positions will be filled as follows:
1st with Money winners (after top 15) with four AZ rodeos (in order of position in standings--i.e., #16 will fill position before #17);
2nd with GCPRA members in good standings with 4 or more AZ rodeos in event;
3rd with Money winners with 3 AZ rodeos in event (in order of position in standings);
4th with GCPRA members in good standings with 3 AZ rodeos in event;
5th with Money winners with two AZ rodeos in event (in order of position in standings);
6th with GCPRA members in good standings with 2 AZ rodeos in event
After the 15 places are filled we will create an alternate list. Alternates will be those who are next in line after the 15th placing. If an entered contestant medicals or vets out, the State Secretary will try to fill the opening with the next in line before the start of the performances. Alternates not receiving a call from the State Secretary may show up to the first performance only to see if an entered contestant has medicaled/vetted out of the finals. The rodeo secretary will have a list of the alternates showing who will receive the next spot. Alternates must check with the secretary two hours prior to the start of the first performance.
TEAM ROPERS - The top 15 may only rope with other qualified team ropers in the top 15. Current USTRC or WSTR cards must be shown at payment of fees.
BARREL RACERS - If a barrel racer qualifies for both the incentive and open barrels, you must run a different horse in each barrel racing event. The incentive barrel race will not be placed until the open barrel racing is completed. The incentive time will be determined by taking the winning open time and adding .7 seconds (1.4 to total average time). So if you are not in the top 15 in barrels, still call in to be placed on the alternate list.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AT ALL, CALL ANDI TEDDER @ 623-249-9506 PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 4TH. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CHANGES MADE TO PREVIOUS STANDINGS AFTER ENTRIES OR AT THE FINALS.
