Ladies Barrel Racing II

Merritt, BC view map

The only ladies' event in professional rodeo, the contestant must cross the scoreline and run a clover-leaf pattern
around three barrels and back across the scoreline to end time.

Either barrel, on the left or right, may be taken first, but a contestant will be disqualified for not following the
clover-leaf pattern. A five-second penalty will be added to the run time for each barrel knocked down, but a contestant
may, from a riding position, hold a barrel from falling. The time is generally taken with the use of an electric eye to
the hundredths of a second. -C.P.R.A.
