2009 CONTESTANTS

October 7, 2008

Dear 20X Extreme Showcase Contestant,

Congratulations on being selected for the 2009 20X Extreme Showcase Rodeo. You accomplished this by finishing at the top of your event, in your region, for the 2008 High School Rodeo season. This rodeo has long been a dream of my husband, Steve Sutton. He wanted to showcase the great talent we have in the SD High School Rodeo ranks during our Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo in Rapid City, SD. He wanted to see the SDHSR athletes compete in the same arena as the PRCA World Champions and SD rodeo heroes.

This letter will serve as your rodeo pass at the NW entrance door of the Civic Center, where you check-in. Check-in begins at 10:30 pm and ends at 12:30 pm. A team picture will be taken at 12:30 pm. Trailer parking is in the NW parking lot of the Civic Center. A limited number of stalls are available on the grounds at $15.00 per night. There is no entry fee for contestants. Each contestant will receive at check-in a Wrangler 20X shirt, a gift certificate for Wrangler jeans, a commemorative event pin made by Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold and Silver Jewelry and leather gloves from Dodge. Event winners will receive a Ralph Maynard Trophy Buckle. Prizes will be awarded for 2nd, 3rd & 4th places also.

Tickets for family and friends can be purchased that day or in advance by calling the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center at 1-800-GOT-MINE. It is set as a General Admission Family Day performance which means you can get 5 tickets for $40.00; Rows 1-8 in the balcony are reserved tickets at $14.00. VIP section tickets are $27.00. If you need a helper in your event, you can pick up a helper’s pass at check-in. The helper will have to purchase a general admission ticket to the rodeo.

Please fill out a biography sheet. It’s important for the rodeo announcer to have facts to discuss while you compete. (Or we’ll be forced to make things up about you! Just kidding!) There is a possibility this rodeo will be televised, so it’s really important you fill out this sheet and turn it in at check-in or mail it with your entry form.

The seniors will find a scholarship application enclosed. These are to be filled out and brought to Rapid City. Turn this in at check-in also. Four $500 scholarships will be awarded. Black Hills Stock Show Foundation will be sponsoring 2 scholarships, Wrangler one and Western SD Buckaroos one. The winners will be drawn from the complete group of seniors. If you are a senior and didn’t receive a form in this letter, call me.

There will once again be a college fair held from 9:00 to 11:00 at the arena.

Finally, make sure you contact Sutton Rodeo immediately if you are not going to enter or can’t compete after you have entered so we can contact the alternates and give them the opportunity to compete. Office (605) 258-2863 8:30 am to 1:00 pm; Steve home (605) 258-2596; Steve cell (605) 381-0270 or Kim cell (605) 381-0280.

Good luck to each of you as you compete in this unique rodeo. I hope you will have a great time and take home many good memories!

Sincerely,

Kim Sutton

Purpose: To showcase South Dakota High School rodeo talent.

1. To be invited to compete, you must be in the top three places on points at the end of the 2008 SDHSR season in your competed region. This is based on the year end point total from regions and state.

2. Three students will be invited from each region in each event.

3. Incoming freshmen are not eligible, nor is a student who did not earn any points in the 2008 SDHS rodeo season.

4. Students must be a current member of SDHSRA for the 2009 season. Dues paid by December 1, 2008. If you have been invited, but have not paid your membership dues, you will be drawn out of the rodeo.

5. Students will be invited to compete in one event only.

6. If a student places in the top 3 in more than one event, invitation will be in the event the student has the most points in.

7. Team Roping - Top 3 teams in each region will be invited. If any team is missing a partner, it will be filled by rolling down to the next highest point header or heeler. The roper invited will be determined by the need of the above roper, who is in the top 3 positions. For example: The top team in the region is missing a header. The 2nd and 3rd teams are complete. The 4th place header will be invited to rope with the 1st place heeler. If he/she declines, the next highest point header will be invited.

8. Tie-Breakers - If there is a tie at the 3rd place position in an event it will be broken:

        A) 1st - The highest number of times a student earned points in that event.
            For example: If Steve won 1st for 10 points and Brent won 2nd twice for 10 points, Brent would win the tiebreaker.
        B) 2nd - The highest number of times placed at regions. (4 perf)
        C) 3rd - The highest number of times placed at state. (3 perf)
        D) 4th - The highest placing in that event.
        E) 5th - Flip of a coin.
