1. Texas theatrics
Wrangler Tour ends in Dallas with rodeo to crown event champions
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The stars will shine in Texas as total of 16 world champions with a combined 52 world titles highlight the 79-contestant field for the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour Championship presented by Texas Stampede, the culminating event on the 2007 Wrangler ProRodeo Tour. Dallas also marks the final event that counts prize money toward the 2007 Crusher Rentals PRCA World Standings and qualification to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

Just as in past years, the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour Championship will be a major determining factor in the race for world titles. Big paydays in Dallas could lead to even bigger conquests in Las Vegas in December. The Wrangler ProRodeo Tour Championship, the concluding rodeo of the four-leg Ariat Playoff Series, which doled out $1.62 million in prize money.

Competitors in Dallas will compete for a share of the $550,000 purse when the three-day event starts Nov. 9 at the American Airlines Center. Action from Dallas will be televised on Fox Sports Net, with three separate one-hour telecasts beginning the week of Nov. 16. In addition, CBS Sports will air highlights from the final round either before or after – depending on the market – the network’s coverage of the NFL on Dec. 2.

Action takes place at 7:30 p.m. (CT) the first two nights. All 10 contestants in each event compete the first two nights. The semifinals, which will feature the top eight competitors in each event after two rounds, get under way at 2 p.m. Nov. 11, with the four-person final round immediately following.

Four-time and reigning World Champion All-Around Cowboy Trevor Brazile highlights the field. He is joined by three other reigning world champions in attendance – bareback rider Will Lowe of Canyon, Texas; team roping heeler Allen Bach of Weatherford, Texas; and saddle bronc rider Chad Ferley of Oehrichs, S.D.

Lowe, a three-time world champion, and Ferley lead a group of six defending champions from the 2006 Dallas event, a group that includes team ropers Speed Williams and Clay O’Brien Cooper, tie-down roper Blair Burk and two-time world champion barrel racer Sherry Cervi.

Another champion to watch for in Dallas is Cody Ohl, the reigning and five-time world titlist in tie-down roping and 2001 Dallas champion. Ohl, of Hico, Texas, is making his comeback after missing the previous three months following rotator cuff surgery.

Josh Peek of Pueblo, Colo., who is chasing Brazile in the all-around race, is the event’s lone two-event cowboy, having qualified for Dallas in both steer wrestling and tie-down roping.

Despite qualifying for Dallas by finishing the 21-stop Wrangler ProRodeo Tour and three subsequent Ariat Playoff Series rodeos in the top 10 in their respective standings, four cowboys and one cowgirl opted instead to compete in the Canadian Finals Rodeo, Nov. 7-11 in Edmonton, Alberta.

It wasn't an easy choice, however.

 “It was a real tough decision because both are great rodeos,” said tie-down roper Matt Shiozawa of Chubbuck, Idaho, who won the Wrangler NFR tie-down roping average title in 2006 and is headed back for his third consecutive Wrangler NFR when the event starts Dec. 6 in Las Vegas. “I’ve made such an effort to go north this year and I have so much invested in it. That makes it hard not to go to Edmonton. They’ve got a good rodeo up there, and Dallas can definitely help you in the long run. I guess with hindsight, I’ll look back in a couple of weeks and see if it was a good decision.”

Steer wrestler Lee Graves of Calgary, Alberta, the 2005 world champion, also elected to bypass Dallas to shoot for a sixth Canadian bulldogging championship that would tie the record held by Bud Butterfield.

Legendary saddle bronc rider Rod Hay, the owner of a record eight Canadian crowns, chose Edmonton over Dallas, as did bareback rider Heath Ford of Greeley, Colo., and barrel racer Lindsay Sears, who leaped into world-title contention after winning $22,500 at the Ariat Playoff Series rodeo in Omaha, Neb. Despite having a chance to close the gap – which presently stands at some $30,000 – in Dallas, Sears, of Nanton, Alberta, will compete in front of her home-province fans at the CFR.

The Playoffs started in Caldwell, Idaho, with the top 35 contestants from the 21-city Wrangler ProRodeo Tour and each event champion from the 2007 Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. After Caldwell, the field was whittled to the top 22 from the cumulative Tour standings, the Caldwell playoff champs, plus DNCFR titlists, as the top athletes headed for the second Ariat Playoff rodeo, the Puyallup (Wash.) Pro Rodeo.

From there, the top 11 in the Tour standings and each event’s overall champion in Puyallup advanced to Omaha. The top 10 following Omaha qualified for Dallas.

Proceeds from the event benefit Children’s Medical Center, the only Dallas healthcare facility that deals exclusively with a variety of diseases and disorders among children, and the pediatric programs at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, which is among the top medical centers in the nation for educating health professionals and conducting significant medical research.

2. Rodeo News and Notes 
Great Lakes’ best head to Louisville. Qualification for the 2008 Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo continues this weekend with the Dodge Great Lakes Circuit Finals Rodeo, Nov. 8-10 at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. It’s the fourth of 12 circuit finals rodeos that will ultimately send the country’s top riders and ropers to the DNCFR.

Action from the three-round rodeo starts each day at 7:30 p.m. ET

At the 2007 DNCFR, the stakes to win were even higher than in past years. Event winners not only received a one-year lease to a new Dodge pick-up truck, but also received an automatic berth in the first two Ariat Playoff Series rodeos in Caldwell, Idaho, and Puyallup, Wash. There, the DNCFR winners had a chance at some big paychecks and, if things went well, an opportunity to advance further into the Playoff Series.

Year-end winners in each of the PRCA’s 12 circuits, as well as the average winners at each circuit finals rodeo, earn a berth to the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, held each March in Pocatello, Idaho. The top 24 contestants in each event battle it out at the DNCFR for the title of national champion.

The PRCA circuit system was created in 1975 to recognize competitors who might never have a chance to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The circuit cowboys and cowgirls compete throughout the year in a designated circuit (usually near their home), and top competitors from each circuit qualify for their circuit’s finals.

Wrangler NFR specialty acts. The specialty acts for this year’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo have been selected. Nikki Moran, Blake Goode and Jason Goodman will be entertaining the fans at the Thomas & Mack Center during the television breaks of the Wrangler NFR’s two live performances. Those performances are Round 4 on Dec. 9 and Round 10 on Dec. 15.

Meet and Greet at Convention. For the first time ever, the PRCA National Convention will host a Meet and Greet session at its Trade Show that will be open to the public. Rodeo fans who make the trip to Las Vegas for this year’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo can stop by the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa on Dec. 6 from 12-2 p.m. PT and walk through the Trade Show exhibit halls and interact with their favorite barrelman, clown, bullfighter, announcer or specialty act. This will be the first opportunity for the general public to attend the Trade Show in the 61-year history of the PRCA National Convention.

Wrangler NFR media credentials. Media personnel interested in covering the 49th Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Dec. 6-15 in Las Vegas, must have a completed credentials application form sent to the PRCA by Nov. 15. Applicants should fax the application to the PRCA Communications Department at (719) 548-4889.

A credentials packet for the Wrangler NFR was sent out recently. For additional copies, please contact the PRCA Communications Department at (719) 528-4746.
