SPONSORSHIPS: (on page 6)
1.	Each contestant is responsible for obtaining a $150.00 sponsorship or raffle tickets (contestants choice) of which $75.00 will be due at the 4th rodeo / weekend- December 12th & 13th.  The final $75.00 must be turned in by the 6th rodeo/weekend- January 23rd & 24th.    If a member has not turned in $75.00 due at the December 12th & 13th rodeo, they will not be allowed to compete at the finals.  Late sponsorships will be accepted up through the January 10th rodeo with a penalty fee of $25.00. After the 10th rodeo has ended, contestants who have not paid their required sponsorships will be disqualified from competing at finals and will forfeit all points/prizes accumulated, but will be allowed to compete at the remaining rodeos if desired.  Turning in additional sponsorships is strongly encouraged. Additional sponsorships will be accepted at anytime. 
2.	If a member joins at the December 12th rodeo, they will be required to turn in the first $75.00 to be eligible to attend finals.

Contestants may continue to sell additional raffle tickets with all money and/or tickets to be turned in at the close of the finals.  Contestant selling the most dollar amount of tickets will win a 2-horse trailer.
TEAM ROPING
Team roping has been changed to  “ Champion Team Roper”.  All rules remain the same but we will not be giving header and healer awards.  There will be one Championship Buckle in each age group.
**This is on page 6, under All- around points**
Team roping:  All points accumulated will count for team roping event points but only the one highest of the day will count toward All-Around. At the finals ropers will only rope once in their age group.   See team roping section for additional rules.
EVENT RULES- PG 15
1.	Dally Team Roping
Partners chosen at time of entry WILL NOT be changed for any reason; (The way you enter is the way you rope) UNLESS the partner you enter with is a no show.  In this case, you will be allowed to pick another partner. In the 10 and under age group, if the roper enters “open” or without a partner, a partner will be assigned the day of the rodeo pending adult availability.  When entering, roper will enter as an individual not as a team. If a roper is roping with another member in a different age group then that roper does not pay an entry fee (i.e. If a 18 year old is roping with a 10 year old, in the 10 and under age group, then only the 10 year old pays an entry fee). Payout will be done accordingly (i.e. if there are 9 team ropers entered in an age group then the payout will be based on 9 entries. If two of the 9 are on the same team and that team wins then that team will split 1st and 2nd place money.)   All points accumulated will count for team roping event points but only the one highest of the day will count toward All-Around. At the finals ropers will only rope once (per end, no partner switch) in their age group
