Teams
Rodeo teams consist of three members, two climbers and a ground person. They may also have a coach if desired. Climbers must be a journeyman lineman or meet the qualifications established by the International Lineman’s Rodeo Committee. An apprentice lineman that has competed as an apprentice for four years or more cannot compete in the apprentice events. After four years of Rodeo competition as an apprentice, the apprentice must compete on a journeyman team.
A Lineman can be the ground man, but must be designated as the ground man for the Rodeo. Please contact your division rodeo coordinator for further information. (top)
Event Cancellation Policy
The Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo is sponsored and coordinated through the Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo Association. GLRA is a non-profit organization that relies on participant entry fees, exhibitor sponsorships, and meal, shirt and hat orders to finance the Rodeo. Many of the expenses incurred are non-refundable to GLRA.
The Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo will be cancelled in the event of prolonged Lightning, Tornados or other severe weather during the scheduled day of the Rodeo that make it impossible for safe participation. Furthermore, the Rodeo will be cancelled in the event of widespread power outages that require a majority of the Rodeo participants and judges to return to work.
In the event of cancellation, there will be no refunds for entry fees, sponsorships, food and/or merchandise orders. Shirts and hats that were preordered and paid for will be delivered at a later date.
The decision to cancel the Rodeo due to weather related issues will be made by the Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo Association Board of Directors and communicated by every means possible.
