Derby Intercontinental

Places limited to 96 teams.
Registration cost: MX$15,000; and MX$3,000 inside fight.
Weights: seven cocks, two of 2.100 Kg.; two of 2.200 Kg.; two of 2.300 Kg. and another of 2.400 Kg.

The first three rounds will be eliminatory. There will be a finalists’ derby (12 teams) with the remaining
four cocks, which will fight 4 rounds, weighting: 2.100 to 2.400 Kg., in a conventional way.

The fourth round (last fight) of the final will be only fought among the teams with possibilities of
achieving the three first places.

First day (Friday, Dec. 18th): teams will only fight with one cock of 2.100 Kg., for the first round.

Weighting time (both days): 8:00 to 9:30 hrs., when scale is closed.
Opening fight: 10:00 hrs.

Second day (Saturday, Dec. 19th): only for teams that have passed to the second round.
Second and third rounds cocks will be weighted: one of 2.200, and another of 2.300 Kg.
Opening fight: 10:30 hrs.

After the third round, they will weight, immediately and briefly, the four cocks of the 12 finalists teams,
towards the final Derby.

There will not be more weight tolerance than the 60 grams mentioned in the set of rules.

In case of having an even result in the first fight, all teams will have to count on an (extra) cock of
2.400 Kg, so that at the end of all the first round fights, they may be able to define their pass to the next
(2nd) round, participating in a breakthrough fight. Anyway, the team that goes ahead will do it just with
one point.

Knife: The one you prefer, one or two blades, one inch/one line, without any kind of grooves or hook.

Even time: on Dec. 18th, it will be of 10 minutes after the cocks have been released; on the final
Derby, it will be after 12 minutes.

We insist that our priority is all attendants’ integrity, that is why, under any circumstances, if an armed
cock tends to get out of the ring, and the people involved (handler and referees) can help it, this will
happen without any protest, and the cock will return to fight immediately.

We remind you that a dead cock or one that has put its peak on the floor defeats a runaway one.
Please, do not mistake a bored or indifferent cock for a runaway one.

The only count will not be broken at arriving at even time, because a cock dies or puts its peak on the
floor, is when it runs away. Then, the fight will not be ruled, until the runaway cock performs the test;
only then the decision will be made.

Remember, you may count on the dead cock test, and it may be used only if the handler asks for it.

We understand by “test or fight”: chase, pursue, fight, peck, bite the opponent or open its neck
feathers, in a natural way, in front of it; move forward facing its opponent.

We understand by “dead cock”: a cock whose body is loosen or stiff, making uncoordinated
movements, rasping breath or death, or if it does not give any sign of life to continue fighting.

Decision by contempt of rules
Every handler in the center lines will loose his cock with only one hand, taking it from the back
feathers and with the legs on the line. They will release at the order of “release or free”, given by the
referee without waiting for any count; if he does not do so, the fight may be ruled without any chance
of compliant. Once the Referee orders to loosen the cock, the handlers must not slapping nor
stimulate the cock, nor leaving the hand in front of his cock, since the count of 10 seconds will not be
broken, and the cocks will have to fight naturally.

Anyway, in the center lines tests, the handler will have to put the cock with its peak in a horizontal
way, looking to the opponent cock. In case the handler evidently puts his cock’s peak in a vertical
way, looking to the lamps of the center of the ring, the fight may be ruled against him, without any
possibility of complaint

The handler’s duty is to introduce his cock on the lines, with its peak in a horizontal position when
releasing the bird; if at freeing the cock naturally, it rise its peak, given a certain kind of injuries or
because of rigor mortis, this will be considered as something legal and the counting will go on.

The count of 10 seconds will begin when both handlers have removed their hands from their cocks. If
they do not do so, the fight may be ruled by rebelliousness. The handler is there to help his cock as
humanely as possible, so, if he is surprised bothering his cock with an intention of hurting or killing it,
the fight will be ruled without any chance of complaint.

The handlers could help their cocks only with their saliva and their hands, when time allows it (during
the 15 seconds of help). During the fight, they cannot touch the knives, just in the raisings.

It is strictly forbidden that the handler takes liquids, ice or any other substance to his mouth during the
fight. If any handler disrespects this disposition, his cock will be punished; if he re-offend, he will not
be able to continue releasing, until the tournament ending. If his re-offense has an influence on the
fight result, this will be decided against him.

If the cock is inside the cockpit, it is forbidden to give it substances such as pills, capsules, drops,
powder, injections, cream or any other forbidden substance. The team that does so, and their actions
may be proved, will lose the fight.

The cock that has been ringed and registered for the tournament will play in whatever conditions it
may be, and only the Referees will be able to cut and remove the register ring. The team that breaks
the register ring or substitute a ringed cock, will lose the fight.

The opposite team will have to win the points on the ground, fighting their cock. The main concern is
to protect teams, avoiding “default” fights, so the Enterprise or the participant teams will be able to
restore the changed or damaged cocks, and this fight will be celebrated as soon as possible, but
always before the final fight.

Regulations
Obedience to order and paying attention are central factors in this kind of events. As we are conscious
of the importance of time, it is necessary that the arming of cocks will take place in an area attached to
the cockpit. You, as a participant, will know your fight turn and will have to get to this area previously.
You will not be allowed to arm your cock inside the ring. There will be an exclusive referee
designated to the area devoted to tie cocks. Only under certain circumstances (as the round change
or others that the Enterprise needs) this process could be done inside the ring.

It is very important to mention that will be accepted only two entries at most, that is to guarantee that
the same team will not fight against itself in any of the rounds or in the final Derby.

The Enterprise reserves the right to avoid confrontations among some of the teams, due to the fact
that one team impulses another.

The main aim of this event is continuity in fights. That is the reason why the organizers reserve the
right to make all the adjustments required (above all, in the fights roll), so that we may achieve this
goal.

Awards (money):

1st. place:	MX$780 thousand
2nd. place:	MX$390 thousand
3rd. place:	MX$130 thousand MX$105 thousand ($15 thousand, seven refunds, from 4th to 10th places) MX$ 35 thousand (three golden rings for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places)

Total: $1440,000.00 (one million four hundred forty thousand pesos) in prizes.

Important: In case two or more teams get tied in points, in order to distribute the refunds it will be
taken into account their total time of fighting.

Otherwise, the team will be assigned the equivalent percentage, according to the number of
participants the Enterprise has registered. In case of two or three teams get tied in the first place, the
sum addressed to the first and second places will be shared among the number of teams that have
reached such positions. The money will be fairly distributed among them, according to their number of
points. Then, the sum originally addressed to the third place will be given to the second. (This
measure is aimed to protect the prize directed to the second place).

If four or more teams would get tied at the first place, the whole of the collected sum directed to the first
three places will be fairly distributed among them.

If there were only a first place, and two or more teams would get tied in the second one, the sum
directed to the second and third places would be added, in order to distribute this amount among
them.

In case the collected money were less than the sum we have mentioned (that is, less than 96 teams):

The prizes to the fastest fights will be eliminated.
The criteria to distribute the money will be based on percentages: first place, 55%; second, 24%;
third, 14%; and seven refunds from 4th to 10th places, 5%; with three golden rings.

It is important to mention that the 100 per cent of the collected money (in respect of registration) will be
distributed among the winners.

In order to deliver the commemorative silver sculpture and golden rings in the finalists Derby, the
video company will take the exact time of every fight, so that (in case of two or more teams get tied at
the first place) the sculpture will be given to the fastest team. The time that will be taken into account
will be that from the final fights, and not the one from the beginning ones. The same criteria will be
used to deliver rings as well as the prizes to the first three places.

Please, consider this effort and this Derby as your own; encourage respect among us and invite our
guests to respect dispositions, so that everything works fine in our event.

Please, pay properly your tickets; box office is an important support to continue celebrating this kind of
events. Make aware everyone else of this fact, since our sources of income are limited. Remember,
our main aim is quality. Seats positioning around the ring will be according your registration order;
there are only a hundred seats around it, so we appeal to your understanding.

Positioning criteria in General Table for the first three rounds
By number of registrations. Firstly, two-registrations teams (the maximum allowed) will be ordered,
and then those with only one registration. This will be done in alphabetic order, and those with two
entries will be alternated in the list, so that they do not end up fighting simultaneously.

Thus, the draw for places will begin with the first ball of team one, against the number resulted from
the ongoing bingo. Then, the second ball (if it was not drawn the first time, as team one’s opponent), o
team number two, against the new number resulted from the ongoing bingo, and so forth. This way
the turn of consecutive fights will be defined.

This alternating allows every team to prepare their next fight in time, so that they may arrive on time,
under no circumstances, at the area devoted to arm cocks. This reduces the possibility that they have
to fight consecutive fights (though, according to the draw, it may happen). Try to count on somebody
who may be ready to help to tie the cock, especially if you have hired a handler who, at the same time,
is working for other teams, since it will not be allowed to arm cocks inside the ring.

For the third round, the draw may be totally at random only if there were not teams with seldom still
valid entries; if it is so, we will proceed according to the same previous criteria.

For the finalists Derby (12 teams), the draw will be done as usual in cockpits: respecting the criteria
and avoiding confrontations between a team and itself. Thus, it is essential that the team get in the list
since the beginning of the tournament. Remember, we accept a maximum of two entries and, since
many teams are participating, first day we will have 48 fights; the second, there will be 56.

Showing respect to these criteria will benefit everyone, since we will be able to follow an order,
avoiding confusion ans wasting of time.

General public
Please, remember we consider all of you as a model of good manners, professionalism and chivalry
in gamefowl atmosphere. Thus, we all embrace legality, honesty and transparence, as a honorable
and quality place, in all aspects.

If all participants appeal to intelligence as a rule, we will agree that, above all, we must prevent, that is
why we need to mention the following points:
All people, without any exemption, will be checked by our security members at arriving at the event,
as many times as it is necessary, both person and belongings which will be used during the event.
Those who do not accept this measure will be invited to leave (if the non conformists are teams as a
whole, we will count on extra participant teams and the Enterprise would take proper steps). Any kind
of measure may affect cocks, trying to benefit another team, deserve expulsion from this event. Also,
and with no exemption, we will forbid the access to subsequent events to handler, personal and
teams who have shown bad behavior. This same measure will be taken towards teams that,
intentionally, delay the event.

Also, do try to take care of your personal aspect and clothes. Please, rise to the occasion and honor
this event.

Recent participation rules: XV Derby Intercontinental
As all we know, this Derby final will be fought by the 12 winner teams (or the proportional number,
according to the number of registrations), and they will record the points they get during the first three
rounds. We reserve our right to eliminate those teams that do not have any possibility of reaching any
prize; especially in the fourth round, so that we may avoid any kind of collusion between a few-points
team and a possible winner. Thus, the fourth round will be fought only by teams with possibilities to
compete for the prizes (first, second, and third places).

Given weather conditions that may be adverse to the cockpit in Tepatitlán, Jalisco, we suggest
competitors to take the necessary items to give some comfort to your cocks: conditioning air, fans or
proper vehicles, as motor homes, trailers, etc; as long as they count on all the proper communication
mechanisms to get on time, and with no excuse, to the area where cocks are armed, or wherever else
they may be required. Remember, if you are not ready in the ring at the time you must, the count of 10
will begin and you will lose the fight.

XV Derby Intercontinental
Our company has always been working so that legality be present in all the aspects involved in this
event.

All Referees’ rules are considered as definitive, as we trust in their morality and professionalism.
Nevertheless, we are perfectly able to make mistakes, though if we do, it is totally without bad
intentions.

Unlike big companies devoted to organize this kind of events, we count on very few supports, so we
do not have possibilities to offer any kind of compensation, neither because of the results nor any
other aspects inside this Derby.

We fully deliver all the prizes, according to the collected sum and the money we get from sponsorship;
as well as the discounts we offer, which apply to all participants.

Derby Intercontinental thanks for your attention you have paid to this document, and now we ask for
your signature, if you agree to follow these regulations, so that you have the chance to take part in this
event.
