Dear Rodeo Participants,
The International Utility Locate Rodeo would like publically thank Matthew West, of West Locating. Due to his vigilance and understanding of the Locate Rodeo rules and scoring process, Mr. West alerted us to a scoring issue that affected the outcome of several events and divisions in this year’s competition.
While we cannot replace the moment of announcement and recognition from the awards night, we will be awarding the winners their rightful prizes. For those who have been notified that their rankings have changed, they will not be asked to return any money or awards. It should be said that those whose rankings changed, particularly those who may have dropped in the rank, that they remained in the top 10. A performance each should be proud of.
The scoring issue has been identified and will be prevented in future competitions. We are very disappointed that this has occurred. We are extremely pleased to have someone like Matthew West checking and double checking his work. It is this kind of work ethic that makes damage prevention successful.
Below is a revised list of the 2009 International Utility Locate Rodeo.
For any questions regarding this matter please contact Rick Dunkerly at

Sincerely,
Claudette Campbell
Executive Director,
Utilities Protection Center, Inc.
