American Rodeo format
The top 15 contenders will compete in the Contender Tournament Finals on Friday, April 11, where the top five fastest times will advance to Saturday.
Come Saturday, these five contenders are eligible for a share of the $1 million purse, while the five invitees from the 2024 PRCA team roping world standings are gunning for a $100,000 prize.
Saturday begins with a round of 10, which will be whittled to a round of four. From there, The American Rodeo champion will be determined with the fastest time.
