ALL CONTRACT PERSONNEL:

At their 2022 January Board Meeting, the PRCA Board of Directors voted to amend PRCA Bylaw B8.5.2.1 as follows, effective immediately:


§B8.5.2.1 Eight PRCA Approved Rodeos and 20 performances.   Any PRCA sanctioned event or rodeo will qualify to count for all contract personnel categories for purposes of the eight rodeo and 20 performance requirement. A minimum of 4 rodeos must have the standard six PRCA events to count toward the eight-rodeo requirement. Any sanctioned event or rodeo that does not count toward the PRCA World Standings will not qualify to satisfy this requirement.

 In summary, any event worked will count toward the 8 rodeo / 20 performance requirement (excluding permit sessions, legacy steer roping, breakaway roping or any event not counting toward the PRCA World Standings). X-Bulls and X-Broncs, whether stand-alone or in conjunction with a PRCA rodeo will count toward the performance and rodeo count. Stand-alone steer ropings will also count toward meeting this requirement. However, to complete eligibility, of the 8 rodeos or events worked, a minimum of four must be a PRCA Rodeo hosting the six standard PRCA events.


Regarding Contract Personnel Year-End Awards: The same process and eligibility requirements as above will be followed to determine Year-End award qualifications and nominations.

Please do not hesitate to contact Rodeo Administration should you have any questions.
