Bring On The BIG GUNS

The World Series of Team Roping will hold its first-ever Open to the World Series Finale roping during the WSTR Finale XIV at the South Point Hotel & Casino Equestrian Events Center this December. This will complete the full lineup of competition divisions at the South Point from the Open Division all the way to the #8.5 Division. With the Top 15 PRCA ropers under contract to the National Finals Rodeo, this event will provide an opportunity for other professional ropers to have their shot at the piece of the $14 million in prize money that the WSTR pays Dec. 7.

“ like its predecessor, dedicates a tremendous amount, said. “We’ve advocated for the addition of this element for years, so we are honored to be the presenting sponsor in 2019. It really has been the piece of the puzzle that was yet to be added, and we are confident that it will be a great addition. Having profiled open ropers for years, we believe this will be a place where the amateur rodeo guys, the top 16 to 40 PRCA guys and the high school and college standouts can all come together in one place to take advantage of the opportunity to rope for a lot of cash, especially with the dynamics of the Top 15 being under contract and not part of the mix.”
