We will now be using Saddlebook for our online entry system. Last year we had to make a quick change on platforms as our previous one did an update that would not work for us. With limited time we chose what was the best option at that time. After a year of working through rodeos, we have determined that it was causing more work than helping. We have researched into Saddlebook and determined that it is an easy to use program that will save the office time for getting results printed and checks out. Saddlebook has an amazing support system for our end, and an online chat option if you ever have troubles entering. We apologize about so many changes in our entry platforms over the past couple of years. We are very hopeful this one will be around for years to come.
This year we are doing a raffle! Each contestant will be required to sell at least $100 in tickets. Tickets will be available online to be printed off. We will sell each ticket at $10. Cash or a check will need to be turned in at State Finals when you check in, or you will not be able to compete at state. We are very excited about this raffle. More information to come on what we will be raffling off.
The WJRA will no longer be covering the credit card processing fees for online entries.
RULE BOOK CHANGES:
Bylaws change:
Next year's executive board will only be determined at the directors meeting by directors that are physically present at the meeting by a silent ballot. The selection will be from the nominations chosen at the State Finals meeting. Contestants and parents are allowed to nominate a current director for Vice President or President.
