TEAM ROPING INFO

Team Roping nominations are now organized in the Virtual Rodeo Qualifier (VRQ) by the class (division), rather than by the event. It is important that all team ropers select the class you wish to nominate. This will ensure that you will receive points for the roping class that you intended to nominate. 

You can still nominate once for a class and receive points for your highest placing inside of that class. But you can no longer nominate an event and get points for your highest placing out of all of the classes. 

This change was made because in some cases, jackpots were being ranked too high due to being grouped with multiple classes of ropings. So, moving forward Team Roping jackpots will now be listed in the VRQ separately by classes. This allows each roping class to be ranked by its total payout rather than including other roping classes, which may be affecting the ranking and making it too high. 

Example: A World Series roping pays out over $200,000 on a weekend but the Open class may only payout $9,000. So, rather than an athlete paying a Division One $200 nomination fee for roping in the Open, the athlete would pay for a Division Four $50 nomination fee.
