Average is to be paid on one
head, progression dictates that the one head
will be paid in the first round.

equal split in
money, and at the producers discretion a rope off for
prizes. Any rope off

time on all four head.

draw or anti-marathon draw will be implemented in any roping
that
exceeds 150 teams. Normally fifty teams equals one rotation,

the size of rotations may vary based on the size of ropings
and availability
of multiple arenas. Ropers in one rotation shall rope all
three, or both
(depending on format), of their steers before the next
rotation begins.
Estimated times for each rotation will be posted at the
event.

estimated rotation times are approximate and do not release
the roper from the obligation of being at the event and
prepared one hour
before the scheduled rotation time. Any team making the short
round will
have to wait until the end of the roping for their fourth or
short round
steer.
6.12 Added Money - The USTRC 2004 National Finals Shoot-Out
added money shall be made up of the 5% of the purses from
all sanctioned
events, plus 1.7% contributed from producers commission, in
addition to

applicable.
6.13 Commission and Prizes - Producers may charge a
commission to ropers (to be withheld from entry fees), which
shall not
exceed 33.3% of the total entry fees. Prizes
such as trailers, saddles,
buckles, etc., shall be paid for by the
producer. Ropers should understand
that although initial commission is no more than
33.3%, actual net cash
and prize pool to team ropers should be in the
range of 79% to 87%,
based on prizes added back into the roping.
