​

 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.
