RULE CHANGE PROPOSALS
(Posted May 28/11)
I propose that rule #4 on page 29 of the CSPRA Rule Book:
"Three loops used in all age groups with a 30 second time limit in all age categories." be changed from three loops to two loops.
(Team Roping ) Chuck Melin
..................................
(Posted April/11)
I would like to propose that we change rule #15 a. Page 11 to read:
"There will be a contest only if a minimum of 3 contestants enter an event and if no contestant rides in their event, the added money be returned to the committee."

Just a note to let everyone know... Tie Down Roping will remain "Alive & Well" in Canada. I have been thinking about this idea for quite awhile, and now that I have attained support and event promotors we have a format that will work and ultimately will see our sport continue to flourish and grow.

Thanks. Craig Fitzpatrick |

IMPORTANT!!!
2011 Co-Sanctioning with USA
1. Rodeo's that are co-sanctioned- only one membership is necessary, either NSPRA or CSPRA.
2. Points won at those rodeos will only count towards the card the contestant is holding. If a contestant buys a card from the other association after he has competed, those points are not retroactive.
3. This will take affect in 2011, before the next rodeo, here and in Canada.
4. If a Canadian with a CSPRA card buys a permit to come to our MT run then decides to buy his card, then the points won on his permit will count towards NSPRA. But not if he just enters on his CSPRA card.
5. Since Canada does not have a permit system, we as NSPRA card holders have to buy a CSPRA card if we want our points to count in Canada and U.S. But if we just want NSPRA points then we don't have to buy their card. (posted March 8, 2011) |
Get well wishes go out to Tom Irwin, who is in hospital recovering from surgery. Heal quick Tom!

| ATTN: All CSPRA members, there will be a General Meeting at High River Rodeo on Sat morning at 10:00 AM. It is very important that we all attend this meeting as we need to deal with updating our directors ie: adding-deleting directors as well as reviewing our quorum requirements.This will be a very short meeting but we need a large percentage of our members to attend so we can update our by-laws with the Alberta Societies Act. |
| Congratulations goes out to Pam and Allan Woods on becoming first time Grandparents to a bouncing baby boy named Cade. WE are sure you will have many years for fun with the little guy. |
| JANUARY, 2011 |
