We will be using horned cattle for the breakaway roping, no tails of ropes hanging down period.  Ropes must be tied to the saddle horn with nylon string that is provided.  A knot must be at the end of the rope with the string tied at the knot.  A visible flag must be attached at the knot end of the rope for flagman or judge to clearly see.  All ropes will be checked as you ride in the box by an event official.  Strings must be broken by the steer and not your hand.  Contestants will be coming out of the heading side of the boxes and electric eyes for barrier will be used at every event.  Two (2) loops will be allowed if carrying 2 ropes, no rebuilding.  Breaking the string by hand = No Time.  There is a 5 second penalty for a broken barrier.  There is a 30 second cutoff in the breakaway roping.  Steers will be chute run for every competition, there is no draw on the cattle.  Once the loop has passed over the horns or head, it becomes catch as catch can.  A figure 8 is an illegal head catch and will result in a not time.
