The performance will be drawn and all slack will be drawn after the performance, no matter how many cattle are in the pen. All timed event stock is to be run in order including slack. Exceptions will be made for splits riding the same horse if splits are done before the rodeo.

NEW RULE: SPLIT PAYOUT IN BARREL RACING
In the event a barrel is off the marker or the timer or flag man is not in the proper position and ALL contestants cannot be notified, and ground conditions cannot be corrected and a rerun given, the rodeo will be paid off using the day money system in order not to sacrifice money won at that rodeo.
Day Money System
In the event a barrel is off the marker, the timer or flagman is not in the proper position, the course is changed or altered in any way (ie markers moved to a different location in arena, entire course moved to different location), or if barrel race is cancelled after some have competed due to dangerous conditions, the event may be paid off using the day money system in order not to sacrifice money won at that rodeo or event.
Take the total pot less than 10% and divide by the number of entries then multiply that by the entries in the performance/slack you are paying off
In the case of an event cancellation, If half or more of the contestants competed, then all the added money plus applicable entry fees are to be paid out to those contestants and points will count. If less than half compete, a prorated portion of the added money plus applicable entry fees are to be paid out and only those points will count.
Inclement weather does not grant a split payout, however if a natural disaster, flood, or unusual circumstance were to occur the judges may decide if a split payout is appropriate

The flag judges should position himself in the corner of the arena opposite the end of the roping box. If the arena is very large, it is permissible to position himself as far as one fourth of the length of the arena away from the corner the breakaway flag is clearly visible. This means witching sides of the arena for a left-handed roper.
CHANGE TO: The flag judges should position himself in a corner of the arena opposite the end of the roping box. If the arena is very large, it is permissible to position himself as far as one fourth of the length of the arena away from the corner that is at the opposite end of the roping box where the breakaway flag is clearly visible. The flag judge has the option to position himself on either the right or the left side of the arena opposite the end of the roping boxes, where he sees it is best for him to give a precise flag, make a clear call for a bell collar catch and he is visible to the timers. This means switching sides of the arena for a left-handed roper.
