Finals winner or Sudden Death winner will be determined by AVERAGE even though no average will be awarded or paid out. For events with no finals winner (no qualified times or scores), the region will not fill the finals seat. All major timed events, senior events and junior events at the Finals will have 1 finals/sudden death winner. For the major rough stock events, the finals/sudden death winner will not advance to the INFR.

Finals winners and Year end winners will represent the SWIRA, unless they have qualified in the Top Ten of the Tour Standings (exception to the team roping INFR Rulebook B4.1.4). For events where the year- end and finals winners are the same person, that contestant must take his/her finals/sudden death seat, and the 2 nd place, or on down in the year-end standings, will be awarded the year-end seat.
