• If the MKYRA Rulebook does not fully answer or give full clarity on an event or rule how do we make a decision?

MKYRA has adopted National High School Rodeo as a secondary and/or backup to finding clarity on rules. So, if it is not in our rulebook, we will fall back and use NHSR.

• Why do we have to follow these rules?

Judges and MKYRA enforce strict regulations on equipment, animal welfare, and sportsmanship. Violations can lead to fines or disqualification.

• What do I do if I contest a decision on the day of the rodeo?

The best course of action is to bring it to the attention of the judges that are present at the rodeo. We do not have replay abilities however, there are opportunities for discussion. Decisions made by the judges will always be final.

• What do we do if we want to get a rule changed?

At the end of the Rodeo season, there will be time for rule change submissions that are then put to the board and members for voting. You can ask for a rule change submission paper at the rodeo before Finals.
