RODEO EVENTS: ROPING

CALF ROPING ON FOOT—
Contestants stand in a roping box next to the chute where the animal is penned. When the roper calls, the chute is opened and time starts when the calf’s nose clears the chute. The contestant’s loop must go completely over the calf’s head and catch around any part of its’ body. Time is called when slack is pulled out of the rope .

MOUNTED BREAKAWAY ROPING—
This event is principally the same as Roping On Foot, only the roper is on horseback. The rope is attached to the saddle horn with a light string. When the catch is made, the rider releases the rope and time is called when the string breaks from the saddle. This event has a 60 second time limit.

TEAM ROPING—
Two cowhands work as a team to rope a steer jointly, in the fastest time possible starting when the steer’s nose clears the chute. The “header” leaves the box first, dropping a loop over the steer’s horns and turning the steer away from the “heeler”. The heeler then throws a rope to catch the back legs. Time is called when both ropes are pulled tight. This event has a 90 second time limit.
