A Judge will advise the assigned number as the first competitor crosses the starting line.
Time for a run commences when the first of the three horses break the starting line.
Within a time limit, a team will attempt to cut from the mob and draft ten head of cattle starting with the assigned number and followed by the next highest number in turn. For example, if the number 4 is called, then cattle must be cut and penned in this order: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3. If a beast passes through the gate out of numbered sequence, a no score will be given.
Competition placement will be based on the highest number of drafted cattle when time is called. Where all ten cattle are drafted, first place will be awarded to the team finishing in the shortest amount of time. Time will be called by the Judge when the tenth head of cattle passes through the gate.
If a drafted beast comes back through the gate into the Arena, a no score will be given.
Junior competitors are allowed to use a short riding crop if necessary, however excessive use is not allowed and will result in disqualification at the Judges discretion. No whips can be carried into the arena by Youth or Open competitors. No hitting of the cattle with any object is allowed by Youth or Open competitors.
At the discretion of the Judge, a team may be awarded a re-run if one or more head of their assigned cattle is deemed unsuitable (health wise) or escapes the arena.
Competitors will only be called 3 times. If you are not in the gate marshal area by the third call, that run will be forfeited.

A Judge will advise the assigned collar colour as the first competitor crosses the starting line.
Time for a run commences when the first of the three horses break the starting line.
Within a time limit, a team will attempt to cut from the mob and pen three head of cattle with the same assigned collar colour.
A team can only call time once.
To call for time, one rider must stand in the gateway of the pen, with only a minimum of the horse’s nose, to a maximum of the horse’s shoulder in the pen gate and raise his or her hand, after some or all of the assigned cattle are penned. The remaining 2 riders must be on the pen side of the starting line.
A team may call for time, with only one or two of the assigned cattle penned, however, teams penning three head of cattle will place higher than those penning two head and two head will place higher than one head, regardless of time.
Time cannot be given until the assigned cattle are in the pen and all other cattle are behind the mob end of the starting line. If time is called before all unpenned cattle are back across the mob end of the starting line, the team will incur a “no time” disqualification.
No time will be given if incorrect assigned cattle are in the pen when time is called.
A rider must not enter the penning pen to remove cattle in any circumstances.
Any more than 5 head of cattle across the pen end of the starting line at any time, incurs a “no time” disqualification.
