The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo kicked off on February 09, and with each cowgirl having a chance at running at their share of $82,000 in added money, things are getting downright salty in the barrel racing competition.
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Tournament Format and Payoff
The rodeo starts off with a three-round bracket section for each athlete ($21,000 added in each bracket). Each night is a clean slate, with the top four money-earning barrel racers at the conclusion of the bracket advancing automatically to one of two Semifinals sections. In the Semifinals ($14,000 added in each Semifinals), barrel racers will have one shot to add to their total event earnings, and the top five money-earners overall will advance straight to the Finals from each Semifinals. Anybody who doesn’t make the cut has one last shot during the Wild Card Round ($14,000 added) to take the top position and grab the No. 11 spot on the ground in the Finals ($33,000 added). Although winning in the Finals would definitely be a bonus, it ultimately comes down to which athlete wins the most money throughout the entirety of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo that gets the official event championship at the conclusion of the Finals.
Here’s how the payout looks in each round of the tournament.

Semifinals and Wild Card Round: 1st $5,000.00, 2nd $4,000.00, 3rd $3,000.00, 4th $2,000.00
