The number of rodeos a tie-down roping contestant can officially count toward his world standings in 2010 was raised from 70 to 100 during last week’s PRCA Board of Directors Meeting in Omaha, Neb.
All other timed events will retain the limit of 70.
There was also a change in the guidelines for rodeos that want co-approval for two or more PRCA circuits, requiring a minimum added purse of $5,000 per event – up from $3,500 a year ago.
Eligibility is also predicated on the rodeo being within 100 miles of the border of the additional circuit(s). Points earned will count for all circuits involved and the rodeo will not count as one of the required rodeo count for the additional circuit(s).
