PRCA revises rodeo rules ahead of season start
PRCA narrows the list counting toward the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo from 100 to 50 for timed events and 125 to 75 for roughstock. Jim Nichols, interim co director, says the change aims to boost membership and reduce travel costs while preserving top competition. Some rodeos may still count toward the top 50, with others remaining as optional events for rising riders.
