2011 CCR Rule Book
Rule-Book:
Unless noted differently below, contest rules governing events produced by Circle Cross Rodeo (CCR) will follow the rules stated in the PRCA rulebook as applicable to CCR events.
Call-in:
Monday and Tuesday prior to rodeo event 6-9 PM. (Late entries will not be accepted!)
Call in numbers: 901-848-4959 / 901-268-1723

Contestants that have not checked in and paid their fees prior to the office closing will forfeit their slot to an alternate. If running late, contestant must call 901-268-1723 before rodeo sign in period is over to reserve your slot.
No-Shows and Turn Outs:
All no shows will be charged a fine equal to the entry fee and will not be allowed to enter another rodeo until the fine is paid in full. All turnouts will be charged a fine equal to the entry fee unless they have a vet or doctor’s release. With valid release you will not have to pay entry fee but will be charged a $15.00 release fine. All fines will be subject to Board’s approval.
Events:
The 2011 season and finals will include Bull Riding, Team Roping, Calf Roping, Cowgirl Barrel Racing and Novice Cowgirl Barrel Racing. Circle Cross Rodeo will attempt to grow interest in other events and with enough interest will add other events to the 2012 season and finals.
Draws:
Draws will be done on Wednesday before rodeo. Contestant’s position and/or slack/performance determination will be posted on the CCR website by Thursday. Priority to compete in performance will be given to CCR members. 10 positions will go to members with the highest total of points and the remaining 5 positions will be drawn from a pool of all members who are entered in the event. If less than 15 members are entered, the non members will be drawn to fill the remaining positions in the performance. All remaining contestants will be drawn for position in slack with no priority given.
Cowgirl Barrel Racing:
Once the 15 barrel racers to compete in the performance are determined, they will be drawn from a hat/box to determine the running order. Running order in slack will also be drawn.
Timed Events:
Competing order for team roping and calf roping will be posted before rodeo but stock draws will not be made available until after the stock is on rodeo grounds and has been properly numbered. When timed event stock will be used more than once, stock draw will not be made available until the previous run/runs of that stock has been completed.
Bull Riding:
Bull riders will be informed by the draw whether they are to compete in slack or performance and their bull will be provided with the draw. Competing order will be determined by the loading of the bulls and by the direction of the chute boss.
