WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

INFR REGION CARDS & TOUR CARDS

INFR REGION CARD

         Cost: $100.00 US

         Allows a Member to participate and rodeo ONLY in the INFR Region they designated on the membership application. For example, if you designate SWIRA as your Region on the application than you can only enter and rodeo at SWIRA rodeos-the Region rodeos and the SWIRA Tour Rodeo.

         Region Card Holder can qualify to the INFR through their Region only, in the following ways: by winning the Region Year-End Championship in their event; or by winning the Finals Championship (sudden death) in their event.

          In order to qualify to the INFR through their Region, a Region Card Holder must attend at least half (50%) of their Region’s rodeos and must be financially and membership eligible.

         Region Card Holders can upgrade to a Tour Card (and be eligible for the Tour Card benefits) by paying an upgrade fee of $150.00 US.

INFR TOUR CARD

          Cost: $200.00 US

          Allows a Member to participate and rodeo in ANY and ALL INFR Regions at both the Tour rodeos and the Region rodeos.   

          Designation of Region on the application is ONLY for money-split purposes.

          Tour Card Holder can qualify to the INFR in the following ways: by placing in the top 10 in the Official INFR Tour Standings at year end; or by qualifying through a Region in the finals championship (sudden death) or year-end championship.

          In order for a Tour Card Holder to qualify to the INFR through a Region qualification they must attend at least half (50%) of that Region’s rodeos must be financially eligible.

          Tour Card Holders are eligible for INFR qualification, awards, and prizes in ANY Region (whether or not it is their designated Region) as long as they have met the above conditions.
