The 2008-2009 Kansas High School handbook had some discrepancies.
These are the corrections that should be noted and will take precedence. Correction pages will be available
at Eureka to be inserted into your KHSRA Handbook. I apologize for this oversight, and I hope that this will not cause an
inconvenience to any KHSRA member and/or confusion.
Please note the following corrections: (inserts will be available for your handbooks)
1. pg:12 Under Misc. Guideline
#5 (concerning graduation) Last sentence reads: "If entered in Team Roping this will apply to the roping partners."
please add: " Team
roping partner may compete on both steers in one day. All other events will be ran as normal. (i.e. if partner is entered
in Tie Down, you will
still compete on
your calf, Saturday and Sunday as normal."
2. pg: 14 Under Points section - start with bullet which reads, "Points from
80% of the qualifying rodeos:
correction: change
to: Example - If we have 24 qualifying rodeos (each day is a rodeo) you will be allowed to carry your best 20 rodeos
to state finals,
a max of 200 pts.
3.
3rd bullet: correction and should read: * carry all points if you have not gotten points in 80% of the rodeos.
4. pg: 15 - begin at - These
points will be won in the 1st round, 2nd round, short round, and the (add: the word - average). Maximum points possible at
finals is 45
points. delete: or 30% of what is brought in.
next paragraph reads:
Maximum points brought into finals = 150 (based on 30 rodeos)
correction and should read: Maximum points brought into finals = 200 points (based on 24 rodeos)
Again, if any member has a question about
the above corrections, feel free to contact me or any Board Member.
Thank you - Val
All Around Points
All
around state points are computed much differently than event points.
This information is from page #35 of the 2003-2004 rulebook.
In each event there are 500 points
possible plus 5 points for each contestant in an event.
Example: Calf roping has 44 contestants.
500 points + 220 (44x5)= 720 points all around points available in calf roping.
The percentages used to award all around points are
1st - 29%
2nd - 24%
3rd - 19%
4th - 14%
5th - 9%
6th - 5%
Using the points from my example above
1st place in calf roping would receive 208.8 all around points (720 x 29%).
Only contestants placing 1st - 6th receive all around points.
Rookie points are
figured the same as the all around points. A Rookie is a contestant who is a first year member of the NHSRA regardless
of what grade they are in.
