It's official... the 2019 Rulebook is now online!
2019 CSPRA Rulebook.pdf
(with revisions since the 2018 printing marked in red)
2019 RULE ADDITIONS/DELETIONS/AMENDMENTS:
- AMENDMENT FOR WORDING OF Rule Sec II.D.8.a. - In the best interest and safety of all in attendance at any CSPRA rodeos, it will be the hosting rodeo committee's responsibility to supply, at all performances and slacks, a minimum of two medical personnel, with at least one being a Primary Care Paramedic (PCP, formerly known as EMT) and one Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), licensed by the provincial government, plus Alberta Health Services required Basic Life Support equipment to have the ability and means to stabilize a critically injured patient. Failure to comply with this rule is a finable offense that will be determined by the CSPRA Board of Directors.
1) A committee may choose to charge a $2/contestant/rodeo Medical Services Fee, to help supplement this cost.
- MOTION PASSED TO AMEND: Rules Sec II.B.4.d. on pg10 and Sec II.E.1.c. & c.1). - Should committees choose
to allow non-members/locals to compete at a rodeo, a non-member/local may enter only one (1) rodeo per year.
That is one rodeo total, NOT one location.
- MOTION PASSED: to keep the "one-pen" system in the team roping event, except at the finals, with any
discrepancies left to the directors.
- MOTION PASSED: to increase full memberships by $20 to help pay for the jobs that we can no longer get
volunteers (ie: finals coordinator and rodeo equipment coordinator).
- MOTION PASSED: set ups are no longer allowed at any rodeos.

Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo Association -- Rodeo Forever!
The Canadian rodeo season starts in April with rodeos scattered across Western Canada throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Canadian Finals are a sudden death finals held in October at the Claresholm Agriplex, Claresholm, Alberta.
Contestants compete in such events as Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, Tie Down Roping, Men's and Ladies Breakaway, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding, Team Roping and Ribbon Roping. Included in the opportunity to enjoy Senior Pro Rodeo is the choice to head south of the border to rodeos hosted by the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association.
The CSPRA now offers the options of hosting a "full" CSPRA rodeo, a "timed event only" rodeo or a "roughstock only" rodeo. A timed event only rodeo will consist of tie down roping, breakaway roping, ladies barrel racing, ribbon roping, team roping and steer wrestling. All rodeos have to follow the CSPRA rule book to be sanctioned. Please contact the committee representative or your event director with any questions. Be advised that the NSPRA has moved to a “region” format since the 2014 season and included in the Canadian region will be ALL CSPRA rodeos as well as those rodeos occurring in Montana.
