This area is located in front of the concession stand.
ALLEYWAY
Riders need to enter from the east side of the alley and exit on the west side. The rider should enter and
exit with their horse under control, preferably at a walk if at all possible. At the discretion of the
judge(s) and ultimately the playday chairman, a rider can be warned and ultimately disqualified for the
event if this rule is not adhered to.
CALL TO COMPETE
A rider’s name will be called three (3) times only. If unable to make the call, it is up to the rider to
inform the announcer of the problem (i.e. broken tack or other problems). If the announcer is not notified
by the third call, the rider will be disqualified.
ANNOUNCER STAND
The announcer stand is off limits to anyone except the playday committee members, event workers, or
those who are specifically requested to come to the announcer stand.
LANGUAGE/ALCOHOL
The use of profane language, alcohol, or disorderly conduct of any kind will be sufficient cause for
disqualification from any Denton Roundup Club sanctioned activity.
EQUIPMENT
Western equipment is compulsory (i.e. no bareback rigging or pads). Helmets can be worn at the
discretion of the rider.
ASSISTANCE
If the parent of a rider so desires, he/she may be present in the arena to assist the rider for reasons of the
rider’s safety only. The rider cannot have any assistance past the timer line to compete in the event unless
he/she is participating in the lead line class. Anyone else that has assisted past the timer line will
receive a “no time.”
INQUIRY/PROTEST
An inquiry or protest must be presented prior to the start of the next event to the playday committee.
When the committee makes a decision, that decision is final.

Classes will run in the following order:
Lead Line, Super Senior, Super Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Junior, Intermediate, Senior

afternoon, Lead Line class will run each event concurrently with the remainder of the classes.

Ribbons will be awarded to the first six (6) places in each event if they are requested upon entering.
POINTS
Points will be given to the current members in the placing order. Non-members will not be considered
in the awarding of the points. Points will only count once you become a member and pay dues.
Any prior participation in playdays will not be counted. Points received for each event will be as follows:
1st – 6 pts, 2nd – 5 pts, 3rd – 4 pts, 4th – 3 pts, 5th – 2 pts, and 6th – 1 pt.
YEAR-END AWARDS
In order to qualify for the year-end awards, each rider must ride in a minimum of 75% of playdays from
date of membship. If you join after the season has begun, your minimum number will be adjusted. Each
single membership is required to work one (1) workday and sell a $25.00 add for the DRC Saddle Show
Program. Each family membership is required to work two (2) workdays and sell a $25.00 add. Each
intermediate rider or above is required to work at each attended playday for riders in younger classes (1)
adult per membership is required to work (see work list during signup). The board will provide a sign-up
sheet for workers to document this. There will also be a book that needs to be signed and verified by a
board member when you complete a workday, which is your responsibility. Working during the playdays
does not count toward your workdays for year-end awards. However, working the DRC Saddle Show will
count as a workday for year-end awards.
