TURNOUTS
Important Information Regarding Rodeo Turn-outs (refer to rulebook for additional info)
The SRA no longer accepts medical or vet releases. Contestants will be allowed one excused rodeo turnout per year that will cover three consecutive days. Contestant will be liable for fees for that turnout if they compete within three days from turnout. Contestants will still need to notify that they are turning out.
Contestants will be able to notify turn-outs three (3) hours or more prior to the start of rodeo performance by calling Rodeo Sports Network at 337-304-1840 to avoid paying a $25 turn-out fine for SRA first-sanctioned rodeos. If you are unable to reach someone at that number or for co-sanctioned rodeos, please email the SRA office at sraoffice@aol.com or text 919-795-7722.
