A person is considered an apprentice and can compete in the Apprentice Division if he or she has less than 5 years overall line work experience. Line work experience includes, but is not limited to, performing electrical linework for a contract utility, IOU, municipality, Public Power Authority, etc. Less than 5 years overall line work experience is defined as not having more than 4 years - 364 days of line work experience on the day of the rodeo. Once an individual reaches 5 years of line work experience on the day of the rodeo, he or she is no longer eligible to compete in the Apprentice Division.
