How Does the Fort Worth Pro Rodeo Tournament Work?
According to Fort Worth’s Women’s Professional Rodeo Association ground rules, 56 of the top barrel racers are divided into groups of eight to compete in each of the seven brackets. The top two money winners from each group qualify for one of two semifinal rounds.
The third-highest money winner in each set qualifies for the wild card round. The other four competitors go into a non-qualifiers pool and the highest remaining money winner in each event also gets to move to the wild card round.
The top two money winners of that second-chance wild card competition also move on to the semifinals. Then, the top four from each semifinal advance to the finals on Saturday, February 5 when the champions will be crowned.
