About the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo The NFR is the season-ending championship event for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and is widely acknowledged to be the world’s premier rodeo. Held annually since 1959 – and since 1985, every December at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas – the NFR is ProRodeo’s richest and most prestigious rodeo, and it showcases the very best cowboys, barrel racers and livestock in the world. The contract signed with Las Vegas Events in 2015 keeps the NFR in Las Vegas through 2024 and raises prize money significantly over that decade. It is telecasted on CBS Sports Network and streamed live on ProRodeoTV.com. The Top 15 contestants in the standard rodeo events – bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping (headers and heelers), saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, WPRA barrel racing and bull riding – qualify to compete at the NFR based on money won during the regular season including earnings from the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour, RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo and PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour. At the conclusion of the NFR, the sport’s world champions are determined based on total season earnings – what they win during the Finals added to earnings during the regular season. The NFR consists of 10 rounds – one round on each of 10 consecutive days; each contestant competes once each day. Cowboys and barrel racers earn money by placing first through sixth in any round, and pick up more money by placing first through eighth in the average (cumulative times or points earned during the 10 rounds). At the end of each NFR, there are two champions in each event (four for team roping): the average winner, whowon the NFR by having the best cumulative time or score over the 10 rounds, and the world champion, who finished the year with the most money (including what he or she earned at the NFR). For each event, the average winner and world championmay be the same person or different people. • At 19 years, 9 months and 4 days old, Ryder Wright became the youngest cowboy to win the saddle bronc riding world title. At the end of his second year of ProRodeo competition, Wright has won nine rounds during his two trips to the NFR. He won five rounds in 2016 and four in 2017. • Bull rider Sage Kimzey won his fourth consecutive world title. At age 23, Kimzey is the first bull rider to achieve this accomplishment. The Oklahoma cowboy entered the final round 17 points behind in the average, but he won the NFR average and the world title thanks in part for scoring 88 points on 4L & Diamond S Rodeo’s Girl Money during Round 10. • Marcos Costa became the first Brazilian cowboy to win the tie-down roping world title. Winning the final round in 7.8 seconds placed him in the lead for the average and the world title with $317,421, a mere $15,438 ahead of the second-place cowboy. Costa also won the RAMTop Gun Award for earning the most money at the NFR with a total of $195,519 won in 10 days. • Bareback rider Tim O’Connell won his second consecutive world title thanks in part to entering the 2017 NFR with the biggest lead of any competitor, a staggering $65,259 ahead of second place. The Iowa cowboy left Las Vegas with $102,905 ahead of the pack, having earned a total of $371,416 for the 2017 season. • It all came down to the final round for steer wrestler Tyler Pearson. The Mississippi cowboy was the 12th man out in the final round and clocked in at 5.2 seconds, then he had to wait and see how the final portion of the NFR panned out. Pearson left Las Vegas the world champion by a margin of $2,190. •Team ropers Erich Rogers and Cory Petska won their first world titles as one of only four teams to head and heel at least nine of their 10 steers at the NFR. 2017 NFR highlights

RAM Top Gun Award

Adding to the excitement level of a world championship event involving hundreds of human and animal contestants is a formidable task. But RAM found a way – identifying and rewarding the cowboy or cowgirl who earned the most money at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Howdoes this differ from the other titles awarded at or after the NFR? Consider this: • The NFR average title in each event is awarded to the contestant who has the best combined score (in roughstock events) or time (in timed events) across the 10 rounds of the rodeo; this is roughly equivalent to winning any other rodeo – except for the huge payouts and waves of adrenaline at the venue

• The world championship in each event is awarded after the NFR to the contestant who earned the most money in that event at qualified rodeos across the PRCA’s year-long season, including what he or she won at the NFR • The RAM Top Gun Award goes to the one contestant who wins the most money in any single event at the NFR; it’s the only title that pits contestants in multiple events against each other Thewinner of the RAMTopGunAward gets a RAM3500Heavy DutyTruck, a special Montana Silversmiths custom buckle and a RAMTop Gun-branded gun from Commemorative Firearms. Winners of the RAMTop Gun Award: 2017 Marcos Costa, TD $195,519 won both the average title and world championship 2016 Tyler Waguespack, SW $213,218 won the world, the average and the RAMTop Gun Award in second appearance 2015 Steven Peebles, BB $234,054 recovered from dire injury in July, broke single-event earnings record at NFR 2014 Sage Kimzey, BR $175,466 first rookie to win the award; broke bull riding Wrangler NFR earnings record 2013 Sherry Cervi, GB $155,899 broke two records en route to her fourth gold buckle and third average title 2012 Mary Walker, GB $146,941 won gold buckle and RAM Truck Top Gun at her first Wrangler NFR – at age 53 2011 Kaycee Feild, BB $179,327 won both average title and world championship 2010* Trevor Brazile, TR, TD $211,509 won TR average title plus AA, TD and TR world championships TopWrangler NFR earners in single events before the RAMTop Gun Award existed 2009 Sherry Cervi, GB $146,100 won average title but not world championship 2008 Lindsay Sears, GB $139,002 won world championship but not average title 2007 Lindsay Sears, GB $119,255 won neither average title nor world championship 2006 B.J. Schumacher, BR $142,644 won both average title and world championship 2005 Lee Graves, SW $126,412 won both average title and world championship 2004 Billy Etbauer, SB $117,745 won world championship but not average title 2003 Janae Ward, GB $111,908 won both average title and world championship 2002 Jason Jeter, BB $98,432 won average title but not world championship 2001 Janet Stover, GB $126,934 won world championship but not average title 2000 Brent Lewis, TD $103,585 won average title but not world championship * In 2010, the inaugural year of the RAM Top Gun Award, money earned in multiple events counted in Top Gun standings. Starting in 2011, the RAM Top Gun Award has gone to the contestant who earns the most in a single event. Had that been true in 2010, bull rider J.W. Harris would have collected the RAM Top Gun Award in addition to his world and average titles.
