RULES AND REGULATIONS
Each equipment dealer must have exhibit space at the 2027 Expo to be eligible to participate in the Roadeo. The first eight dealers to register will participate in the Roadeo. Each equipment dealer will be responsible for conducting their own event. Each dealer must complete the online Dealer Registration Form and submit it to Plan Ahead Events - Tampa Bay by the deadline indicated. Each equipment dealer must provide Plan Ahead Events - Tampa Bay with a certificate of liability insurance. We encourage each equipment dealer to provide a special promotional item to each contestant (i.e., key chain, hat, jacket, cup holder, etc.). There will be a winner of each individual event. The dealer will provide a prize for the winner of their event. The prizes and awards will be given during the Awards Presentation on Wednesday. There will be an overall Roadeo Champion determined by the lowest aggregate time on all events as well as a second and third place winner. The APWA Florida Chapter will award the Roadeo Champion with $250, and second place will receive $100, and the third-place winner will receive $50. Each winner will also receive a silver belt buckle. These prizes will be given at the end of the Awards Presentation. A computer will be used to total all scores and will be located at the Roadeo registration area. If your event has special requirements, it is the responsibility of the equipment dealer representative to notify the Roadeo Chairman.
ROADEO REGISTRATION FOR CONTESTANTS
The contestant will register for the Roadeo and receive a brief description of each event and an official timecard, and will sign a release agreement. The contestant will then proceed to an event location and sign in with the equipment dealer representative and wait for their turn to compete. After the contestant receives brief instructions from the equipment dealer, the contestant will mount the machine and be given 30 seconds to become familiar with the machine before the official timing of the event begins. The equipment dealer representative is responsible for keeping time. Each individual event will stop when the final task has been completed, however, the total time can not exceed two minutes (120 seconds). The contestant will have the equipment dealer representative record their score time on the official timecard. The contestant will then go to the Roadeo registration area and have their score time entered. There will be an overall Roadeo Champion determined by the lowest aggregate time on all events as well as a second and third place winner. Any questions or appeals may be presented to a board made up of one member from each equipment dealer, the 2027 Show Chairman and the 2027 Roadeo Chairman.
