Scoreboard Displays:

• Contestant number is entered bottom row, left numeric display set.

• The time clock is set at 00.000. When rider leaves the chute the clock starts

counting UP in SS:THT {Seconds:Tenths/Hundreds/Thousands of

seconds}. When riders finishes the tie down and throws his hand in the air a

STOP button is pressed to stop the clock. This stops the time (example 12.456

seconds would be [12.456].

• NOTE: there may be a stop to the time when the Bull runs out of the Arena before

the roping is completed… The time is to be PAUSED and then RESTARTED

when the bull is back in the arena as the team’s time starts where they left off

when the bull left.

• If a penalty occurs then the PENALTY lights illuminate and the time is adjusted

manually UP. Or there is a NO TIME penalty and the time is cleared to

00.000. Penalty times are normally 5 or 10 seconds so their should be an

automatic 5 and 10 second adjustment button on the controller.

• If a re-ride is required then the RERIDE lights illuminate and the riders number

stays the same but the time is cleared to re-start at 00.000. A rider with a re-ride

normally does not do his RERIDE until after all other riders in that rotation have

finished. The RERIDE lights need to be able to illuminate at the start of a ride to

indicate that it is a RERIDE.

• If the above time is the leading (LOWEST) time {but not a NO TIME penalty},

that becomes the leader score, the rider number and their score showing the

FASTEST time goes up into the top line. If the next rider has a FASTER time

then their rider number and time replaces the previous as the top line is always for

the rider in the lead with their score time to beat.
