Events include barrel racing, tie-down roping, ribbon roping, team roping, chute dogging, and calf, junior bull, and bull riding. Competing in 20 qualifying rodeos in locations throughout the southern half of Oklahoma and far northern part of Texas beginning in October 2000, members work toward qualification for the three days of competition at the M.R.C.A. Finals held the following Labor Day weekend 2001. To qualify for the Finals, a youth member must rank in the top 15 of the point standings in his or her event. The awards are largely funded through sponsorship. The M.R.C.A. is headed by its Board of Directors elected annually by the general membership.
Parents play a large part in the production and supervision of rodeos.
The M.R.C.A. is dedicated to the support of its enthusiastic young member and is proud of its history of sending many cowboys and cowgirls on to higher levels of amateur and professional rodeo competition and on to other areas of life with confidence and pride. The spring and summer schedule will be announced at a later date.
