If a score challenge is made, which statement is correct about which bulls must be challenged?

• A. The individual bull must be challenged.
• B. All bulls must be challenged.
• C. No bulls can be challenged.
• D. The judge may select bulls to challenge.

Answer: (A)

In this scoring system, each ride on a specific bull has its own score, and a score challenge is directed at that particular performance. That means you point to the ride you just had on one bull and ask for a review of only that score. The correct idea is that the individual bull must be challenged because the challenge targets the score for that single, specific performance, not across all bulls or for every bull by default. Other bulls’ scores stay the same because their rides are separate events. It wouldn’t make sense to challenge all bulls at once, since each ride is evaluated on its own, and the challenge is tied to the specific ride in question.
