Slack
A time, usually after the rodeo performance or early in the morning, other than during the performance when the “extra” contestants compete in the rodeo. There are only 8-12 slots in each rodeo performance for each event—when more contestants enter than can compete in the performance, they compete in the “slack.” The times and scores of contestants in the slack will be compared against the contestants in the performance to determine the overall winner of the rodeo.
