CIRCUIT INFORMATION AND RECORDS

THE 13 RAM CIRCUITS OF THE PRCA

The circuit system is an integral part of the association. Every PRCA contestant belongs to a circuit and has an opportunity to advance to a national championship in the multimillion-dollar arm of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. It affords opportunities to cowboys who may not have the circumstances that allow them to be on the road for thousands of miles a year. But make no mistake, these cowboys are as good as they come. They also make up the majority of the PRCA’s membership. In 1975, the PRCA created a system that breaks up the United States into 12 circuits. The circuits include as few as one state, such as the California, Texas, and Montana circuits, to as many as 13 – such as the First Frontier Circuit in the northeastern part of the country. In 1987, the National Circuit Finals Rodeo was incorporated, and Dodge became the title sponsor of all 12 circuit finals rodeos and the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. In 2010, the Dodge brand rodeo initiative went to the RAM Truck division of the Chrysler Group. RAM still has the title sponsorship of all 12 U.S. PRCA Circuit Finals Rodeos and the National Circuit Finals Rodeo. In 2018, the PRCA expanded the circuit system to 13 by welcoming Canada as the Maple Leaf Circuit. This was in cooperation with the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association. The Maple Leaf Circuit debuted at the 2020 RAM NCFR. As the regular season ends, top competitors from each event qualify to compete at their circuit finals rodeos. Champions from those rodeos, as well as the overall year-end winners from each circuit are then invited to vie for RAM NCFR championships. Each contestant can compete in and out of his circuit throughout the year, but only the points they earn within the circuit they designate at the beginning of the season are applied in the circuit standings. Nonetheless, everything a contestant wins – in any circuit – is applied in the PRCA| RAM World Standings. So, while most circuit contestants rodeo close to home, there is still opportunity for them to earn enough money to get to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. In October of 2021, the PRCA announced some changes with the National Circuit Finals Rodeo. The name of the rodeo was changed to the NFR Open beginning in 2022 and was hosted by the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, July 13-16 in Colorado Springs, Colo. The NCFR had been in Kissimmee, Fla. The inaugural NFR Open powered by RAM, was one of the biggest rodeos of the 2022 PRORODEO season with $1 million in payouts to contestants, livestock and other PRCA members. The NFR Open, formerly titled the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo, is the most prestigious rodeo under the PRCA circuit system and will feature two contestants in each event from each of the 12 U.S. circuits, plus Canada, bringing more than 200 contestants to the Norris-Penrose Event Center for five competition rounds over the four days. The event culminated with a semifinals and finals on Saturday, July 16, when the national circuit champions were crowned. This event was also one of the highest-paying events in PRORODEO and will be a key ingredient for cowboys and cowgirls shooting to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas taking place later in the year.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION AND RECORDS

The 2023 NFR Open is taking place July 11-15 in Colorado Springs. The tournament-style NFR Open determines the national circuit champions in each event. The competition produces exciting challenges for the athletes and vivid entertainment for the fans. All 26 qualifiers from the 13 circuits compete in the two preliminary rounds of the rodeo. The top eight contestants overall (from each event) advance to the semifinal round, with all previous scores and times thrown out. The top four move on to the final round – a sudden-death competition that determines the national circuit champion in each event. Because the top four contestants begin with a clean slate in the final round, each one has an equal opportunity to claim a NFR Open title. In additions to their winnings, NFR Open event winners receive a $20,000 voucher for a new RAM vehicle, a Polaris RANGER UTV, a trophy saddle from Cactus Saddlery, and a Montana Silversmiths buckle. The National Circuit Finals Steer Roping is a similar event with 35 contestants that determines the national champion in a separate event, steer roping. The NCFSR has been held in Torrington, Wyo., the past 14 years.
