The 2026 ProRodeo regular season ends Wednesday at the 377 Last Hoorah, and both NFR team roping lines will be settled there.
Ninety teams will rope three go-rounds, a short round and an aggregate, starting at 1 p.m. Central. The roping streams live on Cowboy+ and XFactorRoping. With $37,500 added per side, it’s the richest open purse left, and every team on the NFR bubble is entered.
The money
Each go-round pays eight holes from a pool of $18,236 a man. The aggregate pays eight holes from double that, $36,472. The short round pays six holes from $4,250. A team that wins all three rounds, the short round and the aggregate takes home $22,203.90 a man.
| Place | Each go-round | Aggregate | Short round |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $4,194.28 | $8,388.56 | $1,232.50 |

What’s on the line
Neither NFR line can finish lower than where No. 15 sits now: $114,982.73 in the heading and $118,253.36 in the heeling.
The heading race is three men inside $875. Ketch Kelton holds No. 15 after winning San Bernardino, Calif., on Sunday. Nelson Wyatt is $768.74 behind him, and Cory Kidd V is $874.03 back. If Kelton doesn’t cash, a seventh-place round check is enough for either Wyatt or Kidd to pass him. Kidd and Carson Johnson are 10th in the draw, Wyatt and Jonathan Torres are 16th, and Kelton and Denton Dunning are 31st, so Kelton will know what he needs by the time he ropes.
In the heeling, Colter Todd moved past Wyatt Cox for No. 15 at San Bernardino. Cox is $1,199.69 back, and a sixth-place round check covers it if Todd doesn’t cash. Cox and Brenten Hall are 52nd in the draw, ahead of Todd and Derrick Begay at 63rd. Torres ($4,039.37 behind Todd), Wesley Thorp ($5,246.66) and Johnson ($6,933.32) each need a big day to get past both of them.
