Southern New Brunswick Cattle Penning Club

Maritime All Around Cowboy Championships
June 2 & 3, 2001
Ronnie Wilkins Penning Corral,
Princess Louise Show Park,
Sussex NB

A competition never seen before in the Maritime Provinces. A true test of rider and horse, entrants will compete in five fast-paced and exciting events designed to show the versatility of the cow horse and the cowboy. At the end of the two days, the top five finalists will match their skills and prove just who the top cowboy (or cowgirl!) in the Maritimes really is!!!

2. A horse may only enter the competition once in each division.

3. Entrant must compete on the same horse throughout the whole competition (unless a veterinarian determines the horse is unable to continue).

4. Proper western attire is required for all classes. Helmets are optional.

5. Competitors will have one (1) minute to arrive in the arena when called to compete.

6. If a horse falls or a rider becomes unmounted, the rider is allowed to remount and continue with no penalty if he or she wishes to do so.

7. Unsportsmanlike conduct will result in disqualification.

8. Spotting cattle will not be tolerated.

9. Any complaints must go to the rider representative. No entrant may speak to the judge. The judge's decision is final.

10. Roughing of cattle will result in disqualification. A disqualification for roughing will be recorded as a zero cattle in the maximum time allowed for the class plus 30 seconds.

11. In any class, following your run, you will be required to hold herd for the next two runs.

12. Entrants should be familiar with the general rules of the SNB Cattle Penning Club as these rules will apply where appropriate.

Scoring System

Classes will be placed by total number/total time. For example, total cows over total seconds, or total barrels over total seconds, or total obstacles over total seconds. Points will be awarded for each class to count for the final outcome in the following manner: 1st place will receive as many points as there are entrants in the class, each place below will receive one less point. Ties will have their points added together and divided by the number of entrants tied to give them each a point value. Placings below that will resume as if there had been no tie. For example, in a class of 10:
1st - 10 points
2nd - 9 points
3rd - 8 points
4th, 5th, 6th tied - 7+6+5=18 points. Divide by 3 equals 6 points each
7th - 4 points
8th - 3 points
9th - 2 points
10th - 1 point
