Association Rules
Rules / Mandatory Qualification Requirements

A contestant must become a member of the WSRRA before competing in a WSRRA sanctioned event. This can be accomplished by signing up for the WSRRA at the event itself before it starts or by submitting an application on-line at http://www.wsrra.org or by completing a membership form and returning the form to the WSRRA offices and must be received 24 hours before the WSRRA sanctioned event. If a contestant has sent his application form in and has not been received please get registered at the event and once your application has been received at the office you will be refunded your membership fee’s.

Each sanctioned rodeo will carry at least four team events, including events such as big loop roping, wild cow milking and mugging and other ranch related events. See our events page for a complete listing.

Team size may vary between Sanctioned Rodeos, using either three or four contestants per team. However, the WSRRA Finals will be a four man team format. All members of the team must be WSRRA members prior to entering any sanctioned event. For three man teams, a fourth member can be added as long as he is a WSRRA member in good standings prior to the finals. Added members can only be on one team at the finals.

30 Ranch teams will be taken to the finals. Depending on the number of sanctioned events the top qualifiers (ex. 10 events top 3 teams of the event, 15 events the top 2 teams of the event) will be invited to the WSRRA finals.

There will be a total of 30 stock saddle bronc riders, women's steer stoppers, working ranch horse qualifiers taken to the finals. Since these are not required team events, contestants will be entering as a single (individual?) competitors. All competitors for individual events will earn their way to the finals by competing at sanctioned rodeos and will obtain points dependent on their placing.

Due to varying point systems at individual rodeos the point system recognized by the WSRRA will be 10 points for a 1st place finish down to 1 point for the 10th place finish. The 30 competitors in each event with the most accumulated points after the last regular season rodeo will be qualified for the finals.

**3 Man Teams for finals
If you qualify as a 3 man team you have 30 days to declare your 4th team member if you have 1 member over the age of 50 and add an additional team member over the age of 50 you will qualify as a Sr. Team.

**Special Division for Seniors
A National Championship Senior Team will also will be awarded at the finals. A qualifying Senior Division team consists of at least 2 members 50 years or older.
