Calf Roping On Foot
In this event, the contestant stands in the roping box next to the chute where the calf is penned. When the roper calls for the animal, the chute gate opens. Time starts when the calf's nose clears the chute. The loop must go completely over the calf's head. A qualifying time requires a "clean catch" in which the slack is pulled out of the rope. The contestant then lets go of the rope so the calf will not be jerked short. The fastest time wins.
