Rope must be tied hard and fast. Contestant must rope calf, dismount, go down rope and throw calf by hand and cross and tie any three feet. To qualify as a legal tie there shall be one or more wraps and a half hitch. If a calf is down when a roper reaches it, the roper must “daylight” the calf before he throws and ties it. If the ropers hand is on the calf when the calf falls, calf is considered thrown by hand. Rope must hold calf until roper gets hand on calf. It will be the judge’s decision. Tie must hold and three legs remain crossed until passed on by the judge. Roper must not touch calf after giving finish signal until after judge has completed his examination.
