Abstract/Summary
Every team member of the Cal Poly Rodeo team is required to bring in a certain amount of sponsorship money to help put on the annual Poly Royal Rodeo each April. While this money helps a lot, more money is still needed to cover the cost of production for Cal Poly Rodeo. This is where a breakaway roping jackpot will come in to play and help cover some additional production costs.
For this senior project, the authors plan on hosting a breakaway jackpot fundraiser for Cal Poly Rodeo. A breakaway jackpot consists of girl contestants roping three calves as fast as they can. The fastest average time overall of the three times added up is the winner of the jackpot. This project will allow the authors to learn what it takes to successfully put on a breakaway roping. In order to put on a successful breakaway roping jackpot, sponsors will be needed. The sponsors will be helping the future of agriculture, as most students who enter the rodeo are agricultural students that use their winnings to help pay for school tuition.
