If a contestant’s partner is drawn out due to qualification, the contestant who qualified will not be allowed to draw out. HLSR will make every effort to match partners as specified on their entry form. Contestants who are not able to be matched with their listed partner will be given the opportunity to choose a partner from the qualified list, or a replacement partner will be drawn at random from the other contestants whose partners were drawn out due to qualification.
RodeoHouston Team Roping Format
Team ropers are placed into one of five “Super Series,” at the start of RodeoHouston, with 10 teams competing over three performances in each preliminary round.
The top four money-earning teams from each Super Series advance to one of two Semifinals. The remaining six teams in each bracket go to to one of two Wildcard Rounds.
Four contestants from each Semifinals and one from each Wildcard advance to the Championship Finals on March 19. The 10 teams compete in the clean-slate format, and the top four from that round advance to the final Championship Shootout round later in the same performance.
