1. Moves - BELOW please find the move form. This form is to be used when you are requesting a move of days or performances. If you wish to change from what the CCA has you drawn for please fill the move form out and e-mail it to Cheryl Bailey on or before the Wednesday prior to the performance. The use of this form avoids the possibility of the e-mail being lost, overlooked, or not communicated. The onus is on the contestant to assure that the paperwork is filled out correctly and received by Cheryl. Cheryl's e-mail address is shoobailey@rogers.com for all that do not have it.
2. Payouts - In discussions with some of the membership it has been noted that the checks for money won or earned at rodeos has been slow coming. I have discussed this with the CCA West and they have assured me that going forward they will have Checks mailed out on or before the Friday following the performance. I would encourage you to e-mail me if you have not yet received a check so that I can follow up with the CCA west, to get you a check number and when that money was put into the mail. The postage system is slow and we cannot control when it is delivered to you once it gets in the mail, however I can give you some feedback as to when your check was mailed if you're still missing payments from past rodeos.
3. Entries - The RIDE system does not allow for entries for 2 events to be over 2 days. Please enter as you have been and if you need to make a change use the move form as indicated above. Make use of the call back system on Wednesdays. This gives you as much opportunity to find out what you are scheduled for and to make necessary changes in advance to reduce issues and stress.
4. Finals - Remember, to be eligible to compete in a major event at the Dodge or CCA rodeo finals, a junior contestant must purchase a senior contesting membership before August 1. He/She will carry forward any points (standings) that were won on the junior membership. Insurances dues only need to be paid one time. Junior members do not need to upgrade their membership status if they are only competing in Junior events at the finals.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback. I appreciate the support and effort that I have been getting from the reps and the rest of the membership. It all helps to make the season run smooth.
Kind regards,
Bill Thom
CCA Eastern Director & Bull Riding Rep.
