TRC Dummy Roping Philosophy:

• Above all the dummy roping should be fun for all…as it always has been.
• Everyone participant should walk away with something (at least a bag of candy).
• The roping should test consistency skills that will make dummy ropers better team ropers.
• Dummy ropers represent the future of team roping...let's give them a reason to keep practicing.

TRC Dummy Roping Rules

• Entry: $1.00/roper, enter only once, open to all ropers in age division
• Age divisions and number of loops as follows;

1. 5 and under, 4-steer average
2. 6-7, 4-steer average
3. 8-9, 6-steer average
4. 10-12, 6-steer average  

• Scoring
  • Slick Horns = 2 points
  • Neck or half head = 1 point
  • All other catches are illegal = 0 points
• Payout per age division, (highest 3 average scores)
  • 1^st, Prize and goodie bag
  • 2^nd, Prize and goodie bag
  • 3^rd, Prize and goodie bag
  • All other contenders, goodie bag
• Other rules
  • Roper must stand behind established line to throw, otherwise a zero will be given for that loop
  • Roper must pull slack at earliest available time (No Fishing), otherwise a zero will be given for that loop
  • Roping is not progressive, all ropers will throw all loops in average
• In case of tie (for any one of the top 3 average positions)
• Ropers will repeatedly step back one foot from the previous spot and throw until one roper misses and one roper catches at the extended length.  Points do not apply for the rope off so that all clean catches are equal.
