USTPA 2022 WORLD FINALS
QUALIFYING REQUIREMENTS
1) QUALIFYING PERIOD
October 11, 2021, through (and including) October 09, 2022.
2) MINIMUM SHOW & RIDE REQUIREMENTS
a) Minimum Show Requirement. To qualify to ride any available Team Penning or Ranch Sorting class at the 2022 World Championship Show, riders must ride a minimum of SIX (6) total rides in TeamPenning, Ranch Sorting, or a combination of both at each of THREE (3) separate Shows during the
Qualifying Period.
b) Team Penning Minimum Ride Requirement. To qualify to ride any available Team Penning class at the 2022 World Finals, riders must:
i. Meet the Minimum Show Requirement, and
ii. Ride a minimum of TWENTY-FOUR (24) total Team Penning rides during the Qualifying
Period at all eligible shows combined.
c) Ranch Sorting Minimum Ride Requirement. To qualify to ride any available Ranch Sorting class at the 2022 World Finals, riders must:
i. Meet the Minimum Show Requirement, and
ii. Ride a minimum of EIGHTEEN (18) total Ranch Sorting rides during the Qualifying Period at
all eligible shows combined.
Important Note: The Minimum Ride Requirements for Team Penning and Ranch Sorting are cumulative and may be achieved in any combination at any show or shows throughout the Qualifying Period. The only minimum ride requirement at a single show is SIX (6), but there is no minimum number of Team Penning or Ranch Sorting rides that must be met at a single show.
So long as the rider has entered the minimum SIX (6) rides in at least THREE (3) shows, and a combined
total of at least TWENTY-FOUR (24) Team Penning Rides and EIGHTEEN (18) Ranch Sorting rides during the Qualifying Period, that rider will be fully qualified in both Team Penning and Ranch Sorting. Riders that want to qualify to ride any Team Penning class at World Finals, but not Ranch Sorting, must only meet the Team Penning Minimum Ride Requirement (and vice-versa for Ranch Sorting).
3) QUALIFYING SHOWS
Any USTPA Sanctioned or National Show may be used in any combination to satisfy the Minimum Show
Requirements except as noted below.
Regional Finals, Elite Finals and the World Finals are not Qualifying Shows for the purpose of satisfying the Minimum Show Requirement.
