We will be using horned cattle for the breakaway roping, no tails of ropes hanging down period. Ropes must be tied to the saddle horn with nylon string.  A knot must be at the end of the rope with the string tied at the knot.  A visible white flag must be attached at the knot end of the rope for flagman or judge to clearly see. All ropes will be checked as you ride in the box by an event official.  Strings must be broken by the steer and not your hand.  Contestants will be coming out of the heading side of the boxes and electric eyes for barrier will be used at every event.  Two (2) loops will be allowed if carrying 2 ropes, no rebuilding.  There is a 15 second cutoff in the breakaway roping.  In the event of a no-time on the 2 loops it will be a 15 second run automatically. Steers will be chute run for every competition, there is no draw on the cattle. Three (3) legal head catches, around the horns, neck, and a half head.  Gate will be closed at the stripping shoot.
