It may come one day, as the board has no calf ropers on it.
You don't see big calves like years ago, so not much use in carrying 2 loops. Bigger jackpots you will see 2 loops, but that is about it.

: I was thinking the NFR had done away with the
: 2 loops in tie down like they did away with
: 3 loops in team roping (not certain why I
: thought that). I only got to watch a few of
: the first round runs at CFD this year. I
: didn't remember seeing any of those carrying
: a second loop. I started wondering if it was
: even allowed anymore.
:
: I know the second loop was useful in the
: past. You used to see guys use it to stay
: alive in the average at big rodeos where you
: had two long goes and maybe a short go.
: These days the times are so tight from first
: hole to last that the second loops seems
: useless.

: 1). Yes you can carry 2 loops. The NFR is
: an
: example. Before the calves got real small
: at Cheyenne, some of the top 5 or so guys
: would carry 2 loops. Use to be sometimes a
: 6 to 8 second difference between the top 2
: guys and the bottom guys in the short round.
: But if your at a one header and have to be
: 9 or quicker to place, there is no reason to
: carry it.
:
: 2.) Somebody a long time ago, like when the
: guy created the barrier that is still being
: used today, decided you had to tie on a
: second loop in order to use one. I would
: just guess nobody has challenged the ruling.
:
: 3.) And that is something that needs to be
: practiced at home as some horses don't take
: it to well the first time it is used.

: 1)Are there any rodeos left that allow two
: loops? (Doesn't seem like using a second
: loop is going to get a person very far these
: days.)
: 2)If so, why do you have to carry a second
: rope? All my life I have wondered why you
: can't rebuild a like team ropers instead of
: carrying a second rope. I've asked some
: pretty knowledgeable people over the years.
: No one could ever tell me why.
