How are protests resolved?
Only a Team Captain can protest a decision. All protests must be stated prior to signing the scorecard sheet. Decisions of an Event Captain may be appealed to the Head Judge. If the team involved is from the Head Judge's company, the Head Judge will recuse himself and the decision will be that of the Rodeo Steering Committee Chair. All protests from the Qualifying Events must be resolved prior to the start of the Relay. Decisions of the Head Judge (or committee Chair, as noted above) are final.
Who becomes the champion team?
Champion teams have the lowest combined Qualifying Events and Relay scores. A 2-Person and 4-Person team champion is named after each Rodeo.
When is the hard hat and eye protection penalty assessed?
The penalty is assessed when the hard hat or eye protection hits the ground. If the hard hat or eye protection falls off, but does not hit the ground, it is not a penalty.

The cutter assembly inside the tee tower is found at differing depths from the manufacturer. Will the tee be in the original bag from the manufacturer, or will it be open and the cutter positioned equally for each tee? Where will the cutter be positioned?
a. at the top of the tee tower
b. as delivered from the manufacturer
c. a given depth from the top of the tee tower (what is this depth?)
Prior to the day of the Rodeo we will open every bag and run the cutter assembly to the top of the tee tower and then put the tee assembly back in the original bag and staple close.
Does everyone tape the pipe to keep it coiled up? Is that a standard?
The pipe will be taped prior to the start of the event. Wire is not taped.
Does the tracer wire need to be installed before the tapping process begins since it isn't necessary for the intactness of the service? Or can we install the tracer wire as the tapping process is underway as long as we finish before the service valve is opened?
The event states, “once all components are installed above grade, the service tee is tapped”. The tracer wire must be installed and the last two activities are the tap and purge.
Will the tee be intact with the base installed and the bolts tightened down, or will the tee be unassembled and the parts only needing to be put together?
The tee will be intact with the base and the bolts tightened enough to hold the base to the tee.
What does this mean...“Running cutter down before the service is completed”? When all the stab fittings are secure, is the service complete since it is intact? What makes the service complete?
All components must be completely installed before the wrench can be placed in the cutter and the cutter is run down.
