​

 POINTS/YEAR END

 

 Points shall be awarded at all HDBBA sanctioned events that will accumulate for year-end awards. Points shall be   awarded at HDBBA sanctioned events in the following manner.

• Points will be based on the animals’ score at each event. For example, an animal that scores 85.5 points will have that added to the year-end total.

• Year-End Points will only be awarded at full events, meaning the event must offer all seven sanctioned classes:

 Yearling, Jr. Futurity, Women’s Futurity, Open, 3-Year-Old Futurity (Dummy Derby), Derby, and Classic.

• Top five event scores will count for year end points. If animal is in the year-end running, animal must be entered at the last/final event to receive year end awards.  

 

 CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR

 

 Contractor of the Year points are points accumulated from a contractor’s top 3 animals from 5 events of the season   and added together at the end of the season to determine a winner. If a Ranch Membership has been purchased the   animals in the Jr. and Women’s classes will be eligible for Contractor of The Year points. If there are multiple   contractors/partnerships on an animal, it must be designated on an entry form who gets contractor points.

 Any animal entered in a HDBBA sanctioned event as a partnership, the partnership must have a current HDBBA   membership, unless all members of the partnership are current HDBBA member in good standings. Each individual   name to be listed as an owner/ participant for a competing animal will need to have filled out a separate   membership  form and paid a separate membership fee (unless a Ranch Membership has been purchased.)

 Ranch Membership Example- Ranch Membership- John Smith Bucking Bulls

 Entries- Jr. Sarah/John Smith Bucking Bulls, Women’s Sally/John Smith Bucking Bulls, Derby John Smith Bucking Bulls

 Contractor of The Year points go to John Smith Bucking Bulls

• Contractor of The Year points will only be awarded at full events, meaning the event must offer all seven sanctioned classes:

 Yearling, Jr. Futurity, Women’s Futurity, Open, 3-Year-Old Futurity (Dummy Derby), Derby, and Classic.

​

 BULL RIDERS

 At all High Desert Bucking Bull Association (HDBBA) events, Derby, Classic, Maturity, and Rider Bull Team   competitions will operate under a Bring Your Own Rider format. Each contractor will pay a $100 Rider Fee per entry,   which will go into the Bull Rider Pot. Each contractor is responsible for providing a rider for every bull entered. Event   producers will make reasonable efforts to have extra riders available; however, riders are not guaranteed. If a   contractor does not have a rider present when their bull is called to buck, the entry fee will be forfeited. If a rider   scheduled to ride multiple bulls becomes injured or unable to continue, the contractor remains responsible for   securing a replacement rider. Bull riders may ride a maximum of three (3) bulls per event. If an owner-provided rider   is  injured during the event, the owner may select a replacement rider from available riders at the event. All riders   must be at least 16 years of age. Riders under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign a rider release form prior   to competing. If a rider is getting on more than 1 head in a class, be prepared that said rider could be getting on   back-to-back, drawing is generated randomly by computer. It is the contractor’s responsibility to inform their riders if   they are having them get on more than 1 head in a class.  Added money for bull riders is at the discretion of the   event producer.

Added Money Policy:

 After all applicable deductions, added money will be included in the total payout. No deductions may be taken from added money. Added money provided by HDBBA will be allocated to the seven sanctioned classes. Any distribution of HDBBA-added money to additional classes must be approved by the board. Added money provided by an event producer may be designated at their discretion, including allocation to classes outside of the seven sanctioned classes. Classes with added money will have an additional pay hole.

Added Money Distribution:
Added money will be distributed per class based on the number of bull entries in each class. The total added money for an event will be divided by the total number of bull entries to determine the added money per bull. Each class will receive added money equal to the per-bull amount multiplied by the number of bulls entered in that class.

Example: If an event has $3,000 in added money and 100 total bull entries, the added money per bull is $30. A class with 10 bull entries will receive $300 in added money.

Added money amounts may vary from event to event. The added money per bull and per class is subject to change based on the total added money and number of entries for each event
