TIE-DOWN ROPING - 02/25

• The Field Judge will start the time once the roper completes the tie, stands up, and takes one step clear of the calf toward their horse.

• The calf must remain securely tied for five seconds with a clean tie. If the calf becomes untied before the five-second period expires, or if the judge determines during inspection that the tie is incorrect, the roper will be disqualified.
