| The USTRC Gold Plus membership is our premium membership package (available to adults 18 years of age or older). If you are really serious about your roping, this is the membership package for you! Included are all the features of the Gold Spur membership PLUS extended privileges and services to meet the special needs of those who value convenience! Any Gold Spur or first-time member may purchase an upgrade to a Gold Plus membership at any time. Following are the extended privileges and services provided with your Gold Plus membership. |  |
ADDITIONAL FAMILY MEMBERSHIP - Gold Plus memberships can be used as a family membership; spouses receive a Gold Plus membership card and children will be issued Gold Spur memberships ( children must live at home and be 20 years of age or younger to be eligible). GOLD PLUS ROPINGS - At all USTRC sanctioned events across the country there will be a Gold Plus roping. Only Gold Plus members are eligible to rope. The top three Average winners in the #12 and the #10 will receive Gold Plus Shoot-Out positions to be used at the USTRC National Finals. Must be 21 years of age or older to rope. CHECK-WRITING PRIVILEGES - As a Gold Plus member, you will have check writing privileges at the "cash only" ropings and for incomplete entries paid at the roping office. All other ropers will be cash only (except for pre-entry ropings through the USTRC National Office). DIRECT 1-800 CUSTOMER SERVICE - At the touch of your phone, you can contact the USTRC Gold Plus service representative. It has never been more convenient to handle questions, problems, or enter a roping. PHONE ENTRIES - Don't worry about filling out entry forms; your Gold Plus service representative will take your entries over the phone and charge your fees to your Visa or MasterCard (a 3% service charge will be billed to your account for credit card entries). DOUBLE NUMBERS - Forget about filling out the form or sending the double-number application fee for a dual classification. The application fee is waived for Gold Plus members and the Gold Plus service representative will take your request for a double number over the phone (not available to additional family members). APPEAL SERVICE - Think your classification is too high? Was it raised from the last ballot period? Upon request, the Gold Plus service representative will check on your votes and file any necessary appeal forms with no hassle and no application fee (not available to additional family members). LATE ENTRIES - Miss the pre-entry deadline? Don't panic! As a Gold Plus member, you may enter up to one week after the regular pre-entry postmark deadline without paying late fees. Just phone your entries in and your fees will be charged to your credit card (full payment must be made for team).NEED A PARTNER? To the extent possible, the Gold Plus service representative will make every effort to get you just the right-numbered partner to replace the one that had to cancel. PERSONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY - This policy is automatic for all Gold Plus members. By purchasing a Gold Plus membership, you receive $1,000,000 personal liability coverage for any horse-related accident, $25,000 death or disablement coverage, and $2,500 for loss of one or more fingers while using the USTRC Gold Plus membership card. In addition, Gold Plus members will get USTRC discounts on horse mortality insurance and other insurance services (not available to additional family members or spouses; spouse insurance may be purchased for an additional $75). STALL RESERVATION SERVICE - Want your stalls ready and waiting when you get there? When advertised at selected ropings, Gold Plus members will be the beneficiaries of our Gold Plus stall reservation service (stalls limited to two per Gold Plus member). | |
