| They just announced they will not include Calgary, Houston or the WPRA finals in tallying total won bumping Tiany to number 4 and Tuff to number 1. She would have been the 4th woman to have the honor to wear #1 and the women compete in only one event making it even more impressive.

Location: North Dakota | I don't know about you, but what a crock of BS. I know it's just a back number but still. If the money counts to get them there, than why shouldn't it count towards how the back numbers are given out?? Some things make zero sense to me, this being one of them. |

Especially two years in a row! Why change now when the season over? If they wanted to change should start in 2018 so everything would know the rule up front. |

| This has been a rule for awhile. The PRCA just finally decided to enforce it. What they screwed up was the timing. It should have been mentioned much sooner than 2 days before the end of the season.
The women are the only ones that get to count earnings from Houston and Calgary. So if you really want to split hairs here. Tiany was at $250,000 WITH her Houston and Calgary earnings. Sage Kimzey was at $237,000 WITHOUT any of his Houston and Calgary earnings. So if the men were allowed to count their money from those two rodeos then Sage would have been #1, not Tiany.
Keep in mind that the ladies of the WPRA are guests of the PRCA at the NFR. Before cussing the PRCA, maybe we should ask where was the WPRA during this? |

Location: from the valley | Unfortunately, if the rule was followed this would have not been an issue. It is hard to point fingers at either association, when I am sure both knew the rule. Ultimately, both associations are to blame. It just sucks that Tiany got the wrath of it.

The WPRA FINALS are in Waco I believe. The ladies have all kinds of events. Breakaway, tiedown and team roping to name a few |

Yet the WPRA scheduled it over the Prairie Circuit Finals so the qualifiers had to chose where to run. Given the WPRA Finals had a berth into Houston...that was a pretty crappy thing to do to the Prairie girls. I can’t remember the details, but there were a lot of very unhappy Prairie girls.
Seriously the PRCA and WPRA need to ban together and pull it together. |

I read many comments that they asked for a time slot on another day that would allow them to try and make both and WPRA would not accommodate them. The announcement that the top 2 average card holders qualify for Houston was also made last minute, they extended entries to the finals to allow more to enter but at that point commitments/plans had already been made. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | Is there maybe a Facebook page or e-mail address that someone can post where we can send our grievances?!?! So our opinions, as fans, are not falling on deaf ears. I'm not a wpra member, but I do follow the pro girls and I would like to direct some comments to someone who is in a position to make a difference! It's just wrong. If they were going to make a change, they should have said something like "ok, we are going to change the rule to what everyone is used to and award back numbers accordingly." They should not have yanked the rug out from under her feet like that. It's just wrong. |

You said it all. If you want to play you play by their rules not the WPRA's

You can only have one Chief and when the barrel racing was taken over by the PRCA, everyone had a come apart. In the 70’s the WPRA Fought hard to be part of the PRCA and when it finally happened they were having fits. Can’t have it both ways. |

Why? She isn't number 1 per the rules |
