NW Chapter Finals

September 27-29, 2023

 

What’s NEW

Points – Year-end winners will now be determined by points, instead of money won.  Here is a brief recap of how points work; however, please refer to the ACTRA Rulebook for full details:

 

2.1.23 Points will be awarded at the Chapter Board’s Discretion.

a. In the average

• 1st = 100 points

• 2nd = 90 points

• 3rd = 80 points

• 4th = 70 points on down to 10 points for 10th place

b. In the go-rounds

• 1st = 20 points Page 3 of 12 

• 2nd = 18 points

• 3rd = 16 points

• 4th = 14 points

• 5th = 12 points

• 6th = 10 points

c. Add one point per team except with 10 teams or less, and then 5 points per team for first: if 6 to 10 teams then 10 points for 1st.

 

Divisions – With guidance from the national board our divisions have changed.  The women’s division has been removed; however, additional number divisions have been created.  This will increase our year-end awards from 5 awards packages to 6 to benefit our members. 

 

Below are the new number divisions:

                Division 1 - #1

                Division 2 - #1.5

                Division 3 - #2

                Division 4 - #2.5

                Division 5 - #3 & #3.5

                Division 6 - #4 & Over

 

Please note if you have a double number (different heading number than heeling number) all your points will be placed in the division of your higher number.  Example, you are a #2 header and #1.5 heeler, all your heading and heeling points will fall under your #2 number, which is the division 3.

 

Qualifiers – NW chapter requires 7 qualifiers to rope at the chapter finals.  Members who are 70 years of age or older will only be required to attend 4 qualifiers to rope at the chapter finals.

 

We are looking forward to another successful year of roping and look forward to seeing you all on the roping trail real soon!
