1. This accumulative point system shall be the only one allowed for
qualification to Nationals from sanctioned qualifying, district and
final rodeos.
2. No other point system to be used by a State/Province unless authorized
by the National Board of Directors.
3. One (1) contestant constitutes an event.
4. The Maximum number of points which could be earned per event
at a sanctioned qualifying rodeo would be 10 points and points for 10
places.
36
a. Points per event:
Places 1-10 Points

10th............................................1
Total 55 Points offered in each event.
5. Where two (2) go- rounds are held at sanctioned qualifying rodeos,
the points may be distributed in the go rounds, average or both.
a. In States/Provinces that sanctioned qualifying rodeos have two
(2) go- rounds and an average, it may be the State/Province option to
give points in each go- round and the average. In order to use this
option, all rodeos must be average rodeos.
6. The All-Around Cowboy and Cowgirl would be determined for the
year by total points earned in all events, plus points earned at Finals,
regardless of whether they have entered those events in their
District/State/Province Finals, provided they have entered their
District/State/Province Finals.
7. A Rookie Cowboy and Cowgirl will be chosen on points the same as
All-Around except contestant must be first year competing member in
NHSRA.
8. Each contestant in team roping will receive points earned of same
value as contestants of other events. Any points earned in team roping
will belong to the contestant. Partner’s points shall be added
together to form a team at District/State/Province Finals. Champions
will be high point team. If either partner is disqualified, both are out
of team roping.
9. At qualifying, District/State/Province Rodeo’s first place ties will be
flipped for, worked off, or duplicated by State/Province at their prerogative.
In case of first place ties, first and second place points will be
added together and split evenly. All ties will be settled in the same
way.
10. State/Province Associations are allowed to select the number of
rodeos a contestant may carry points from - to their State/Province
Finals Rodeo.
a. The basic formula, however, would be to offer ten (10) more
points at State/Province Finals, than a contestant can carry in to their
State/Province Finals.
37
Example:
9 rodeos - maximum of 90 points earned - 100 points for
State/Province Finals
13 rodeos - maximum of 130 points earned - 140 points for
State/Province Finals
15 rodeos - maximum of 150 points earned - 160 points for
State/Province Finals
b. Each contestant points will be totaled from the maximum
number of rodeos allowed in each event. The total points from these
maximum rodeos will be carried to State/Province Finals.
c. A contestant can use different rodeos for each event to get maximum
rodeos with highest points.
11. All points earned at State/Province Finals, together with points
carried in will determine National Qualifiers and State/Province
champions.
12. The accumulative point system must be used by States/Provinces
as an eliminating point system through the Go-Rounds at
District/State/Province Finals to determine top position to compete in
final go- round.
13. A contestant with enough points or scores, using the accumulative
point system, to qualify for the short go- round, but because of injuries
cannot compete in the short go, will maintain his/her position
through the average and will receive points and awards for their final
placing in the event. Contestant must enter their event at
state/province finals and compete in at least the first go- round to be
eligible for accumulative points. Contestant must have a medical
release.
a. A contestant must compete in every go- round to qualify for the
average.
14. For States/Provinces using the National qualifying accumulative
point system for qualification to Nationals: Each State/Province
Finals may have the option of working from the last qualifying position
down to the first qualifying position in all go- rounds.
15. National Qualifiers - The following Point System formula must be
used by all states/provinces:
a. Points carried in plus points at Finals would be added to this
total up and through each go- round. Finals average points would be
added to this total and then high point would be awarded average
points.
b. Points to be offered in go- round and average must total 10
points more than maximum points allowed to be carried in.
c. The amount of the points, which will be offered per go- round
and average, is the State/Province option.
16. Example:
38
Total 10 more than maximum points allowed to be carried in:
Total Points Carried In + Points 1st Go + Points 2nd Go + Points Final
Go + Points Final Average + Points Total Point Average = National
Qualifiers
17. No accumulative points will be awarded at rodeos held after a
state/province finals, until the completion of the National High
School Finals Rodeo.
a. (OPTIONAL) Any state/province who wishes to commence their
rodeo year earlier than the commencement of the new high school

check BEFORE their first scheduled rodeo of the new year.
