TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
WPRA Walk-Up Replacement News The WPRA would like to inform you of an exciting upcoming policy addition for the 2023 season. The WPRA will be implementing a Walk-Up Replacement policy at select rodeos in the 2023 season. WPRA Walk-Up Replacement Highlights: • It will not be applied at limited entry rodeos or all the rodeos that PRCA has the policy at. • The WPRA rodeos approved for the Walk-Up Replacement Policy will have additional language in the WPRA ground rules disclosing that the “Walk-Up Replacement Policy will be in effect.” Please review the rodeo listing ground rules on the WPRA website. Only WPRA rodeos with this disclosure in the ground rules will have the policy in effect. Contact the WPRA Office or your circuit director for more information.
