The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association® (PRCA) named Cinch as the title sponsor for the inaugural Playoffs. 2022 CINCH PLAYOFFS

In March of 2022, the PRCA announced the Playoffs would take place at the Puyallup Rodeo at the Washington State Fair, Sept. 8-11, and would crown the champions of the season long NFR Playoff Series presented by Pendleton Whisky. The $1 million payout just before the PRCA regular season ended on Sept. 30 played a key role in catapulting athletes into the 2022 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge. The Cinch Playoffs is the culmination of the most prestigious event series on the PRCA circuit. The Top 23

competitors in each event from the NFR Playoff Series Standings - plus each winner from the NFR Open powered by RAM, which took place in July in Colorado Springs, Colo. - competed for their share of $1 million in Puyallup. The Cinch Playoffs provides one last opportunity for ProRodeo athletes to punch their tickets to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The ProRodeo season concludes Sept. 30. The Top 15 athletes in the PRCA | RAM World Standings in each event will qualify for the 2022 Wrangler NFR. The Cinch Playoffs aired on The Cowboy Channel and streamed on the PRCA on Cowboy Channel Plus App. Visit cowboychannelplus.com for more information.
