  ENTRY PRIORITY

Priority will be given to the contestants going to the most rodeos by using a point system.  Points to be awarded as follows:

1)       A buddy group includes up to a total of four people.  All team roping partners must be included in the same buddy group.

All members of the buddy group must go to the same number of rodeos but the lowest priority still affects the whole group.

Example:  If three people in the buddy group are going to Cloverdale rodeo and the fourth one is not, that fourth person will bring your priority points down and you may not receive the day you asked for at a BCRA rodeo.

2)       All information concerning a buddy group must be given on one telephone call.  This includes card numbers and all pertinent information regarding this buddy group.  If you are within a four man buddy group, the entire four man buddy group will take the priority level of the contestant in the group who is going to the least amount of rodeo’s.  If you exceed the four man buddy group (5 or more), the entire buddy group loses their priority points (0).

3)       Rodeo priority will be determined by the amount of rodeos the entire buddy group will be entering in.  Entire buddy group must be entered in the same rodeos.  This will be done on a point system.  Rodeo Priority gets you your day but not your draw preference. All those who enter a rodeo and get their day preference, will be scrambled equally with those who got their day at the bottom of the draw.  All those who did not get their day preference will be scrambled equally at the top of the draw.

5 point rodeo’s are:  BCRA rodeo’s only.
3 point rodeo’s are:  PWRA, CPRA, PRCA, NPRA.
2 point rodeo’s are:  BCHSRA, BCLBRA, JR/SR College rodeos,

1 point rodeo’s are:  BCBRA, BCTRA, WIREA, CSPRA, PBRA, BCBP.

**If your entire buddy group is not entered in the same rodeos, the person with the lowest priority will determine the priority points of the whole buddy group.**

  4)       Any person not falling into a 4 or less buddy group will automatically receive a low priority, no matter how many rodeos they are entered in.

5)       If a non-BCRA member enters a BCRA co-approved rodeo, on a co-approval association card, he/she assumes the priority of that co-approving association.

6)       A BCRA permit holder that enters a BCRA rodeo will be given (4) four points for priority.  Full BCRA cardholders will be given (5) points for priority.

7)       The highest priority within your four-man buddy group will get you your day preference but not your positions.

8)       All those who enter a rodeo and get their day preference, you will be scrambled equally with those who got their day at the bottom of the draw.  All those who did not get their day preference will be scrambled equally with those who did not get their day at the top of the draw.
Abuse of the entry system will result in an automatic fine.  Priorities given to entry office will be randomly checked

9)    Performances will be filled first before offering a slack.
