Competitors may decline to participate in the victory round for safety reasons.Unmounted awards ceremonies can be held if weather or other calamity prevents mounted awards ceremonies. Riders must be in full riding attire. Requests to be excused from the awards ceremony must occur one hour before the scheduled ceremony, except in the case of an emergency. The requests must be made to the Awards Coordinator who must confer with BLM Coordinator, the Competition Manager, and the TechnicalDelegate in the decision-making process.
