I saw that they are actually getting two numbers. One for the PRCA rules for the NFR and another one for the WPRA World standings. Then next year it will change even more with the Circuit Finals rule change, Houston rule changing and possibly the American counting? Sounds like a royal cluster.

Not gonna lie. This threw me for a loop. Has always been based on regular season earnings?
Yes. But the NFR belongs to the PRCA and the WPRA is an invited guest. The PRCA doesn’t allow money earned at Houston to count towards their standings. The WPRA does. While the rule about money has always been there, last year the PRCA decided to actually follow it and they took Houston out last year. That made it so Tiany didn’t get that #1 back number.
This year, I believe it was more than just Houston. Hopefully someone corrects me if I’m wrong. But that is why the numbers are so screwy. So while the money earned at all the rodeos approved by the WPRA counts for qualifying for the NFR, the PRCA is taking money out for their NFR back number purposes only.

I don’t think Calgary money counts either? Wierd to see Hayley & Nellie with lower back numbers than some of the other girls. Hopefully one of the girls can win the Top Gun award!
