Location: Broxton, Ga | B13.1.2 Qualification of Contestants. The top 15 Contestant Card Members, as ranked by the Official PRCA Standings, in each of bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping shall be the “NFR Qualifiers” in each event, and shall be the NFR contestants provided such NFR Qualifiers confirm their participation in the NFR pursuant to Section B13.1.3 and are Financially Eligible and Competition Eligible at the time of confirmation. If a NFR Qualifier is unable to compete in the NFR, the next highest ranked Contestant Card Member shall be invited to compete in the NFR, provided he is Financially Eligible and Competition Eligible. This process shall be repeated until the requisite number of contestants have confirmed participation in an event.
B13.1.2.1 Team Roping. The top 15 Contestant Card Member headers and top 15 Contestant Card Member Heelers in the team roping, as ranked by the Official PRCA Standings, shall be the NFR Qualifiers in team roping, provided such qualifiers confirm their participation in the NFR pursuant to Section B13.1.3 and are Financially Eligible and Competition Eligible at the time of confirmation. (See Bylaw B13.1.2 for procedure to fill one or more spots where an NFR Team Roping Qualifier is unable to compete.)
B13.1.2.1.1 Partners. Each NFR contestant header must be paired with an NFR contestant heeler in the
team roping, and vice-versa. Pairing shall be accomplished pursuant to procedures established by the PRCA. Failure to select a partner according to these procedures by the established deadline will result in assigning of partners based on a random draw conducted by the Director of Rodeo Administration. A header and heeler shall not
be considered a team for the NFR team roping unless and until both the header and heeler have confirmed their pairing together with the PRCA National Headquarters.

| From what I've been told is that since he got hurt before the 16th header is able to fill his spot. If (as he did a few years ago) got hurt during the NFR then the other pardner can pick a new pardner from any person that is entered in the NFR but that isn't entered in the team roping. I think when Jake got his thumb his pardner replaced him with Trevor since Trevor was entered in the calf roping but not the team roping.
Just talked to Jake Long and he said that is the way it works.
