2011 RULE PROPOSALS

New to CPRA will be the procedure of rules implemented. Beginning in 2010 rules will be listed as proposed for the year of 2011. Each rule will be listed by the name of director or member proposing a new rule, or amendment/revision to an existing rule. Rules will be reviewed throughout the year with the BOD voting in November. Exceptions will be any rule the BOD deems neccesary to implement immediately in the best interest of CPRA.

After the November BOD meeting each rule will be listed as passed or failed. Members are encouraged to contact their event director with any input or proposals.

Rule proposals will be listed below as received. Please check back often.

Rule Proposal

A contestant competing on a permit that wins $500.00 or more will be required to purchase a CPRA membership card. The rodeo secretary will pay the contestant's prize money less the CPRA membership fee. If a contestant competing on a permit wins $500.00 or more at a rodeo ending on or after Sept. 1st, contestant will have the option to purchase a CPRA membership for the current rodeo season or the following rodeo season.
