How PRCA Team Roping World Standings Work

How are PRCA team roping standings calculated?

Team roping money is tracked separately for headers and heelers, so each earns their own path to the National Finals Rodeo. Rank is based on regular-season earnings at PRCA-sanctioned rodeos, tallied from January 1 through September 30. When the regular season closes, the top 15 money-earners on each side qualify for the NFR. A 16th spot in each event goes to the winner of the Playoff Series, giving one more roper a late shot at qualifying outside the regular-season money chase. The cutline at 15th is the one number to watch as the season winds down—a single big check at a late-season rodeo can swing several spots in either direction.

How many team ropers qualify for the NFR?

The Top 15 headers and Top 15 heelers in the PRCA World Standings at the end of the regular season qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Headers and heelers compete in separate world standings based on their season earnings.

When does the PRCA regular season end?

The PRCA regular season ends Sept. 30. Earnings accumulated through the end of the season determine the Top 15 competitors in each event who qualify for the Wrangler NFR.
