A New Rodeo is Born...

The stage is set for THE AMERICAN to become the largest, richest one-day rodeo in the history of the sport. Each one of these world-class athletes will compete for their share of the largest single day payout in the history of the sport….$2,000,000.

Be a part of history as the Top 10 contestants in the world from each event battle it out…but wait a minute we are not done…

Anyone else out there that thinks they are better than the world's best gets their shot at part of $2,000,000. There will be five qualifiers sanctioned by the Professional Bull Riders, Pro Roughstock Series, United States Team Roping Championships, Better Barrel Racers and the Ultimate Calf Roping for each event around the country for those that want their chance to beat the world's best on March 2, 2014.

Out of that $2,000,000, each event will pay $100,000 for first and $25,000 for second. Then there will be a $1,000,000 "side pot" set aside for the qualifiers. If a qualifier can beat all the best and win his/her event, then he/she is entitled to that $1,000,000.

RFD-TV and these sanctioning bodies are looking to revolutionize the sport of rodeo for the better. There are many rodeo events that are great attractions for fans; however, there has yet to be that "one-day rodeo" that has been able to pay out this sum of money. THE AMERICAN will open the door to a competition much like golf and tennis, where mediocrity will not be welcome for the price of victory. Every sport needs a large impact moment, and this will be that defining day for the best rodeo athletes in the world. So……. BUCKLE UP…

I'm trying to figure out how a top ten winner only gets 100k but a qualifier gets 1.1 million?  That's just a HUGE difference.  Both parties earned it, but why should one get so much more then the other?

They get a PIECE of the other 1,000,000. There's 2,000,000 total to be had. The first million gets point between the winners from the Top Ten pot, the other million gets split between the Qualifier pot winners.

They just said men can compete in the barrel race since BBR is doing the barrel racing qualifiers.

 They just said there is no sanctioning body for steer wrestling so they will have to produce the steer wrestling qualifying events themselves.

 So will the top 10 NFR bull riders get to automatically qualify since the PBR is involved? It sounded like the top ten PBR automatically qualify. So I am confused.

I was very excited to see this. It's awesome that EVERYONE can qualify. Since there are great riders and competitors that just cannot travel all year to make the NFR. And now they have a chance at a huge opportunity such as this. :)

Per the announcement on RFDTV, if a qualifier wins their event, they get a total of 1.1 million dollars.  That was said several times.

 That is how I understood the announcement too.  They are going to draw a lot of entries @ $500 each in the qualifying rounds to go towards that $1,000,000.

Is this the first rodeo ever that they are letting the guys compete in barrels as well? I saw that Men or Women can qualify. Can't wait to see all of this come about.

Many open rodeos allow men to compete.  This is the first at a rodeo this level for this money.  The men will have to qualify through the BBR qualifiers.
