RSNC Sanctioned Division
Because of the Change to a 9 Point
Rating System we have adjusted our numbered divisions
so contestants will be able to continue to compete
within the same previous skill levels. (Same exact
people competing together but now with a whole lot
more) The following is a comparison
of the previous and new Sanctioned Divisions.

Required divisions.

other division is mandatory to qualify as a sanctioned

Pick & Draw
- The Pick & Draw division is designed to
allow new contestants to the sport an opportunity
to find rides and meet other contestants. All
RSNC divisions have a 5 ride limit. Contestants
can Pick up to 4 and Draw 1 or they can Pick less
and Draw up to all 5.
Handicap
System - The RSNC handicap system for ranch
sorting.
The handicap system for all Sanctioned RSNC events
in ranch sorting will be as follows. Each total team
rating number below the highest possible team number
in a division will receive one additional second beyond
60 seconds to sort their cattle. Then those additional
seconds will be subtracted from the team’s final
time on the cattle sorted.
Example:
1. A #10 team in the All Levels Handicap division
(#18 maximum rating) receives 8 additional seconds,
(#18-10=8) giving them 68 seconds to sort. If they
sort 10 head in 63 seconds their final handicap time
would be 10 head in 55 seconds (63-8=55)
2. A #9 team in the #13 handicap division
receives 4 additional seconds (#13-9=4) giving them
4 additional seconds to sort. If they sort 8 head in
56 seconds their final time would be 8 head in 52 seconds
(56-4=52)
This system levels the playing field
for all sorting contestants with a
handicap based on their rating.
