The 2026 World Championship Junior Rodeo is back in Guthrie, Oklahoma, July 8–11, with youth athletes vying for their shot at a world title in the team roping.
As the WCJR action unfolds in Guthrie, TeamRopingJournal.com is covering everything from format breakdowns to draws and full results as they come in.
2026 WCJR Format
The WCJR kicked off July 8, with two Last Chance Qualifier rounds. From these two rounds, there are three ways to qualify to the Semifinals round:
- Top 6 from Round 1
- Top 6 from Round 2
- Top 15 on a two-head aggregate
- Top 3 from the buy back round
Leaderboard-qualified athletes can enter the LCQ rounds, but if they place in the top six, that spot rolls to the next eligible qualifier.
In the Semifinals, 45 athletes will compete—15 qualified from the leaderboard plus the 30 from the LCQ. From the Semifinals, 15 athletes advance to the finals.
