🏆 FINALS QUALIFICATION & PARTICIPATION RULES
1️⃣ Minimum Qualification Requirement
Contestants must compete in an event at a minimum of eight (😎 regular-season RKA-sanctioned rodeos as an active RKA member to be eligible to qualify for the finals and all year-end awards.
If the association cancels an event, that rodeo will count toward the minimum requirement for contestants who were entered before the cancellation.
2️⃣ Team Roping Qualification
Headers who qualify for finals must team up with heelers who have also qualified for finals.
3️⃣ Entry Fee Deadlines
Entry fees must be received within the designated time period. If fees are not received on time, the next available alternate who submitted an entry will be accepted in that contestant’s place.
4️⃣ Finals Participation Requirement
Members must compete in all three (3) days of finals in each event for which they qualified.
A member who chooses not to compete in one or more qualified events at finals will forfeit all season points and awards for those events.
Example: If Jane Doe competes in barrels, poles, and goat tying throughout the season and earns points in all three events, but chooses not to compete in goat tying at finals, she will forfeit all her goat tying points for the season. Those points will not count toward her all-around total and will be deducted accordingly.
5️⃣ Finals Points
Any points earned during finals competition will count toward the contestant’s all-around total.
🚨 RKA FINALS RODEO — TURNOUT POLICY 🚨
Once a contestant’s entry is accepted, there will be no drawing out unless a medical release is received at least 24 hours before the first performance. Otherwise, the contestant will be fined $100 plus entry fees.
Entry fees will be forfeited if an alternate is not available.
