Rodeo Qualifier

What Is The Qualifier?

Open to all PRCA and WPRA card and permit-holding members, this event gives cowboys and cowgirls the opportunity to earn a spot at the invitational San Antonio Rodeo in February. Preliminary competition takes place Monday through Thursday, with the top 20 contestants in each event advancing to the Final Rodeo Performances. The top 20 contestants will then be randomly assigned, with 10 competing Friday and 10 competing Saturday. From there, the top 10 overall contestants in each event will qualify for the next San Antonio Rodeo!
