PLAYDAY RULES
SIGN-UP
Playdays will start at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday and 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The arena will be cleared 15 minutes
prior to the start in order to complete the event setup. There will be no riding in the area during this time.
You will need to sign up by the time that your class begins, and a draw will be utilized to determine
running order of each class. Late arrivals will be able to ride the first event only if the event is still
set up in the arena. Late arrivals will also draw to determine running order. NEGATIVE EIA
(COGGINS) MUST BE AVAILABLE AND IN YOUR POSSESSION IF REQUESTED.

limit two (2) runs per rider. Exhibitions can be eliminated at the discretion of the playday chairman.
GATEWAY AREA
The area around the gates much be kept clear at all times. This is especially true for all children. Please
make certain that if your child(ren) play, they need to do so in the fenced area where it is safe for play.
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
Classes will run in the following order:
Lead Line, Super Senior, Super Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Junior, Intermediate, Senior
Lead Line will run all three events first to complete the class on Friday night. On Sunday
afternoon, Lead Line class will run each event concurrently with the remainder of the classes.
RIBBONS
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 eight (8) playdays.
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 membership
is further required to assist in the operation of each playday (see sign-up sheet for a listing). The
board will provide a sign-up sheet for workers. 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.
