There will not be a processing fee to adjust entries. After a certain date, only a partial refund could be possible. After the Barrels and Poles are drawn, a draw out there will be no refund. These will be marked as a draw out on the draw.
A contestant can add entries after entering already. They just go back through the process. They will be charged another office fee. The only way an entry can be adjusted is to call the Patriot office and make adjustments…horse change, rider change, partner change, drawout. A drawout could potentially be a partial refund.
A team roper can only qualify 2 times total in each Open and 10.5 division. For Example: 2 heading, 2 heeling, or 1 heading and 1 heeling. Team ropers will be allowed to switch ends to meet their 2 total times to qualify but must stay in the division they qualified. If a team has qualified in the 10.5 and gets split because of a number change or partner not attending, they can move the TEAM to the open team roping division, OR they can split and stay in the 10.5 with a new partner. The 10.5 is capped at a 6.5 heeler. No team can split and move divisions they didn’t qualify for. If a team splits based on partner number change or partner not attending and the roper chooses his/her partner for Ft. Worth semifinals and/or Las Vegas semifinals, the partner chosen has to have entered a qualifying Patriot side pot during the current qualifying season. If a partner is chosen and hasn’t earned a qualification position, the fee for the chosen partner is $750.00. If the partner has an earned qualification, the fees will be the qualification fee.
Only one partner enters and pays both sides. Both contestants must also be a current USTRC or WSTR member in order to enter.
No a contestant has to have an entry first before reserving and RV or Stall.
Yes, more than one stall per contestant can be purchased.
Every contestant must be a current Patriot member if entering a 19U Jr Patriot event. Patriot memberships are current from after the finals through the next year’s finals.
