2. $500 per team. Cash Only.
3. 4 man teams. Contestants are limited to 2 teams max. A Team Captain may only be Captain on 1 team. If injury occurs, 2 team max will still apply, so replacement teammate can only be on one other team.
4. Abuse of either personal animals or event animals (kicking, whipping, tripping, gouging of eyes, or any action which is totally unnecessary) is strictly prohibited. Please treat the cattle as if they were your own. If any harm comes to the cattle, the price of the animal will come out of the payout before event concludes.

Once team leaves the arena, time and rulings will remain as stands. 7. While our announcer is familiar with Ranch Rodeos, anything he/she announces to spectators may or may not reflect the final decision of the judges and therefore the judges decisions will be final and take precedence over any announcements.
