Added Prize Money
The following amounts will be awarded to winners in each of the following
events. All of this money will be awarded on the weekend of the rodeo to
contestants competing in the events and is in addition to the contestant
entry fee purse as defined by IGRA rules. The amount listed for each event
will be split evenly between men's and women's events and will also be split so that half is awarded each day:
Bull Riding: $1,250
Bareback Bronc Riding: $1,250
Barrel Racing $1,250
Break-away Calf Roping $1,250
In the event that no contestant of a gender covers/completes an event on a
given day, the allotted prize money for that day's event will be divided
equally among contestants of the same gender who attempt the given event. If there are no participants of one gender for a particular event for a given
day, the allotted payout money for that gender/event for that day will be added to the payout for the All-Around winners of that respective gender.
For example, if 3 men attempt Bull Riding on Saturday and none cover, each
male rider will receive $104.17 for attempting (contestant entry fees will
roll to IGRA Finals as unawarded purse money). Similarly, if there are no
female Bull Riders on Sunday (even if there had been a female Bull Riding
participant on Saturday), the $312.50 allotted to women's Bull Riding on
Sunday would all be awarded to the All-Around Cowgirl payout following IGRA payout rules.
The Best Wild Drag team of each day will receive $100. Teams will be judged
on group cohesion (ie.pick a theme and all team members get into it!!) and
audience response NOT best performance time.
