2010 Wrangler/Professional’s Choice ACTRA National Finals
More Ropings, Awards and New Programs
As the ACTRA National Board sat down at their winter meeting it was going to be a pretty tall order to improve on the 2009 ACTRA National Finals but improve they did.
There will be two new ropings at the 2010 ACTRA National Finals to help accommodate the large number of higher handicapped ropers who belong to ACTRA. The #12 roping, 4/$150.00 with 20% cattle charge, go three times will be held on Sunday, October 17th and the other will be a up and down handicapped mixed even at #8, 4/$60.00, go three times held on Monday, October 18th. These two ropings along with the other specialty ropings will have a modified prize line.
Another new addition along with the National Championship Scott Thomas Saddles, there will be National Reserve Championship Scott Thomas Saddles in the number 3, 4, 5.5, 7, 8.5 and Century. This is another great addition to the prize lines. For the first time, Century Roping Incentive winners will also have a modified prize line, these awards will go to the highest placing incentive teams that do not receive an award in the main average.
The Super #7 Roping will have a new look this year. ACTRA will adopt the Wrangler National Patriot Program. This program is to raise awareness and funds for the wounded or fallen American Military Veterans and their families. The prize line will include Horse Trailers and Skyline Gold Buckles to the average winners. Reserve Champions will receive Scott Thomas Saddles. There will be $5,000.00 in bonus money for the ropers who purchase and wear the specially designed ACTRA Patriot Shirt for this roping. This will be a great roping for a great cause. The Calcutta for the Super #7 Roping will be held at the Banquet again this year for added fun and excitement.
The Sponsors, Directors and Arena Operators Roping will be moved to Wednesday. This will give our Sponsors a great opportunity to rope and get to know the members. The Banquet, Catastrophe Fund Auction and Super #7 Calcutta will be that evening.
Each year it is a huge challenge to make the Wrangler/Professional’s Choice ACTRA National Finals better than the year before. The National Board feels that with the new ropings, additional prizes and new programs it will be accomplished again. Start making plans to qualify and attend the Wrangler/Professional’s Choice ACTRA National Finals in Reno Nevada October 17th thru the 24th.
