About the All American ProRodeo Series

The PRCA’s All American ProRodeo Series, presented by Pendleton Whisky, comprises all PRCA-sanctioned rodeos with added money of $30,000 or less – in 2011, 439 rodeos across the U.S. and Canada. Cowboys who end the season among the top 30 cowboys in their events in the All American ProRodeo Standings qualify for the All American ProRodeo Finals, also presented by Pendleton Whisky, and a share of its purse of close to a half million dollars. While 30 contestants in each event qualify to enter the Finals, held in october in Waco, Texas, only those who traveled enough to enter at least 30 All American ProRodeo Series rodeos that season are eligible to be named All American ProRodeo Series champions.

The mix of up-and-coming talent, veteran circuit cowboys and some national-level competitors in the top 30 in the All American ProRodeo Standings at season’s end in September 2011 made for an interesting field, so fans were enthralled as the october 2011 All American ProRodeo Finals offered a season-ending chapter fit for the storybooks. Three rookies and a PRCA permit holder (pre-rookie status) earned All American titles: steer wrestler Riley duvall, bull rider Cody Teel and team roping partners and brothers Joshua and Jonathan Torres (Jonathan was the permit-holder)

Several competitors broke or equaled All American ProRodeo Finals records: Nathan McWhorter and Twister Cain in the team roping (4.0 seconds in the second round) and rookie Jacob o’Mara in the bull riding (92 points on Andrews Rodeo’s Black Cat in the final round). Two-time world champion Cody Wright tied Wade Sundell’s record twice in the saddle bronc riding; both men scored 89 points in two rounds of the same year (Sundell did it twice in 2009).

The All American ProRodeo Series serves two primary purposes: providing opportunities for newly professional and part-time cowboys to win more money at smaller rodeos and offering them a chance at a very large purse if they choose to pursue it. The PRCA includes many members who rodeo in addi-tion to working their 8-5 jobs, and wants to make it potentially more profitable and more prestigious for those cowboys to rodeo. PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman hopes that as more cowboys realize the earnings – and career-advancing potential – of the All American ProRodeo Finals, as many as half of these “part-time” contestants will opt to go to perhaps an additional 10 rodeos a year in order to get the opportunity to be able to run at a great payoff in Waco. He also notes that the All American ProRodeo Series is structured to give up-and-coming cowboys more chances to win. “If you go up against (multi-year world champions) Bobby Mote and Trevor Brazile every time, it makes it tough to win,” says Stressman. “our younger and weekend cowboys need the opportunity to compete without our top pros sometimes, and the All American ProRodeo Series gives them that.”

The All American ProRodeo Series replaced the Heartland ProRodeo Series, which had slightly different rules including the requirement that rodeos pay a fee and apply to be included In the series – a format which centered the series around rodeo-heavy states like Texas, oklahoma and Nebraska. Because All American ProRodeo Series rodeos are distributed across North America, PRCA cowboys everywhere can take a shot at making it to Waco by competing in at least 30 All American rodeos, and All American ProRodeo Series rodeos can expect to attract a greater number and range of contestants – contestants earn 50 points for each All American ProRodeo Series rodeo at which they compete and a point for each dollar they earn at a series rodeo. Cowboys also can leverage their Waco earnings, because money earned at Waco counts toward qualification into limited-entry rodeos for the next season.

The All American ProRodeo Finals is one of five PRCA national championships. The others are the Ram (formerly dodge) National Circuit Finals Rodeo (RNCFR), the Xtreme Bulls Tour Finale, the Justin Boots Playoffs and Championships and the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
