8.8.2. Forty Percent (40%) 15 Rule
8.5.2.1. In order to satisfy the 40%/15 rule, a contestant must comply with the following:
1.) If the contestant’s principal place of residence is within her designated circuit, said contestant must compete in either 40% of the rodeos within that circuit (based on the total number of rodeos during the previous rodeo year which held the particular event for which the contestant seeks to become a CR contestant) or 15 rodeos with that event within the circuit, whichever is less or;
2.) If the contestant’s principal place of residence is not within her designated circuit, said contestant must compete in either 40% of the rodeos within the circuit (based on the total number of rodeos during the previous year which held the particular event for which the contestant seeks to become a CR contestant) or 15 rodeos with that event within the circuit, whichever is greater (provided that, if there are less that 15 rodeos with a particular event in a circuit during a rodeo year a nonresident must satisfy this rule if she competes in 100% of the rodeos with that particular event in the circuit during that rodeo year).

January 18, 2011. IMPORTANT INFORMATION About Rodeo Co-approvals! Unlike the PRCA, co-approved rodeos DO NOT count in your circuit rodeo count. They have not and do not. Co-approval rodeo money does count toward your circuit rodeo money. Rodeos up to $5000 added money (the $5,000 is an increase over prior years) may be co-approved with neighboring circuits if the circuit's boundary is within 150 miles.

These rules were added to help the smaller rodeos draw contestants. The WPRA feels you should support your own circuit if you are going to compete at your finals. (A percentage of payoff is held back to go into the circuit finals money)

Please support your circuit and the rodeos it co-approves.
