However, as required by IGRA (International Gay Rodeo Association), names of all FGRA members are reported to the Secretaries of IGRA sanctioned rodeos for verification of competition eligibility only. Furthermore, for the protection of our members, any FGRA publications either print or electronic will only list a member by either their nickname i.e. Cowboy John or first name and last initial i.e. Jane D. This will also be evident on your Name Badge.
