All USCRA memberships come with a subscription to Loops Magazine. Loops Magazine is the source for calf roping information.

2010 SHOWDOWN FINALS

Membership Information

The Showdown Finals are the original finals of the USCRA. All competing members of the USCRA are eligible to compete at the Showdown level as long as they have competed at one roping during the regular season. The Showdown level consists of a Semi-Finals Qualifying Roping and the actual Showdown Finals. Showdown Positions are won by winning the average at a USCRA roping. Additional Showdown Positions are awarded to average winners based on the number of entries in that roping.

1-50 ropers = 1 Showdown Position
51-75 ropers = 2 Showdown Positions
76+ ropers = 3 Showdown Positions

The other way to gain a position is to be in the top 10 in the average of the Semi-Finals. Only one showdown position can be won during the regular season, but a second position can be gained by entering the semi-finals and being in the top 10 average winners.


Two dollars is collected from the entry fees every time a roper enters a USCRA roping, which is added to the pot of each division at the showdown finals. A pre-determined prize will be given to the average winner of the EE, 00, #1, #2, #3 and BA-B ropings of the Showdown Finals.

 

 

2010 WORLD FINALS
