Top Hand Bonus

The WCRA has announced recent winners of the WCRA Top Hand Bonus awards and stated the upcoming events where athletes can take home a cash bonus. The WCRA Top Hand Award goes to the one contestant who is the highest points earner in any single discipline at select regional events.
 
Recently, athletes such as Kashton Ford (Bareback Riding), Rhett Robbins (Bareback Riding), and Walker Rezzonico (Saddle Bronc Riding) have taken their $150 nomination and turned it into a $500 WCRA Top Hand Bonus.
 
Each athlete who nominates their ride or runs at the select events with WCRA has the opportunity to win the Top Hand Cash Bonus, ranging from $500-2500. Each Top Hand Bonus payout is based on WCRA Division level along with nomination participation. By nominating and participating in the Top Hand Bonus, athletes can also earn points to qualify for the $360,000 Cowtown Christmas Championship and the $250,000 Reliance Ranches VRQ Points Champions Bonus.
