James (Jim) Floyd Svoboda, Jr. was born November 8th, 1934 at Ord Nebraska, and passed February 19th, 2023 at the age of 88. The cause of death was inoperable stomach complications/perforation which were exacerbated by a longstanding unrecognized rodeo injury. He passed comfortably at peace with his wife and family at his side thanks to the excellent care he received at Grand Island Nebraska Regional Hospital.

Jim graduated in 1956 from the University of Nebraska Lincoln and worked 33 years for the USDA as County Executive Officer for the Agriculture Stabilization Conservation Service serving Garfield, Loup, and Wheeler Counties until he retired in 1989. He also owned a ranch with his wife and family north of Burwell prior to his retirement, where they owned a registered Hereford operation.

Jim spent nearly 20 years as a successful four event all-around rodeo competitor, with his best streak of riding 54 barebacks in a row. He filled his PRCA permit in 1958 and received his PRCA Gold card in 1984. A severely broken leg forced him to become a full-time rodeo photographer.

With over 3 million photos shot and worn out nearly 40 cameras, Jim was a true legend in the rodeo photography industry. He won numerous awards and buckles during his rodeo career including four coveted PRCA award buckles: “Sports News Best Action Photo”, “Best Action Rodeo Photo”, “PRCA Best in Photo Journalism “and “Las Vegas National Finals Rodeo Official Photographer”, a feat no other photographer has ever accomplished.

He is survived by his wife Marilyn of 64 years, three children, Tana Brinkman (Jim), Jason Von Svoboda (Angela), JonBen Svoboda (AnneMarie), 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, 2 brothers and 4 sisters. He was preceded in death by his parents James, Sr. and Margaret (Walkowiak) Svoboda, 1 brother and 3 sisters.

At Jim’s request, he wanted a private graveside service and in lieu of flowers send remembrance memorials to the family which will be collectively donated in his honor to the Nebraska’s Big Rodeo

FORT WORTH, Texas (Feb. 4, 2023)—The $1.2 million FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament came to a rousing close on Saturday, February 4, in Dickies Arena.

No one was more excited to win their first championships at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo than bareback rider Rocker Steiner and barrel racer Jackie Ganter. Steiner, who calls nearby Weatherford home, made a 90-point ride on Calgary Stampede’s Yipee Kibitz. This was the second matchup for Steiner and the bucking horse. The last time the two met, Steiner won the Calgary Stampede in Alberta last July riding, so the 19-year-old was super excited to get on the horse again.

The ride on Saturday added $20,000 to Steiner’s earnings. Prior to Fort Worth’s rodeo, he was 13^th in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world standings. With his success in the brackets and the semifinals as well as the championship round, he added $27,080 which will give him a big boost on his way to his second consecutive Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) qualification.

“This win is really special,” Steiner said. “It’s close to home, the fans are great, and I just love that horse.”

An emotional Jackie Ganter, from Abilene, Texas, got the win in the barrel racing. Riding her great gelding Howes a Tycoon, she stopped the clock in 16.30 seconds, the same time that she had when she won the wildcard round. Ganter and Tycoon made four trips around the barrels to have the opportunity to run on Saturday. They watched as two-time FWSSR champion Hailey Kinsel stopped the clock in 16.35 seconds.

Ganter and Tycoon earned $25,260 here. They were seventh in the world standings before and with their earnings here they will be very close to the number one spot. She has qualified for the NFR twice in 2015 and 2016. With her success here and her blazing fast horse, the former hunter-jumper equestrian is on track to make a third trip to Las Vegas this year.

Will Lummus, a college rodeo coach from Byhalia, Mississippi, punched his ticket in the steer wrestling with a 4.1-second run. The horse he rode was Be Dun By Three, nicknamed “Benz”, owned by Clayton Hass. While this was a great rodeo for Lummus, who earned a total of $27,080 here, it was even better for Benz. Ty Erickson, from Helena, Montana also rode Benz and finished second for the championship. Benz earned $32,000 for his riders on Saturday night.

The saddle bronc riding ended in a tie, and it was a big one. Stetson Wright of Milford, Utah and Dawson Hay from Wildwood, Alberta, each had 90.5 point rides to win $16,000. They both rode horses from the Calgary Stampede. Wright got on Xena Warrior and Hay rode Tokyo Bubbles.

In the breakaway roping, Cheyanne Guillory caught the win with a 1.9-second run. The National Finals Breakaway Roping qualifier earned a total of $26,193 to take back home to Kingston, Oklahoma.

A Texan took the top spot in tie-down roping. Weston Hughes from Cameron stopped the clock in 7.4 seconds for the win. He earned a total of $25,200 here and said, “It couldn’t have happened at a better time.”

Andrew Ward from Edmond, Oklahoma and his brother-in-law Buddy Hawkins II, who lives in Stephenville, Texas, had the fastest team roping run of the night at 3.9 seconds. This is the second time Hawkins has won this rodeo. He also won it in 2014 roping with Drew Horner. Ward and Hawkins have roped together twice at the NFR and are looking good for another trip to Las Vegas this year.

The best two bull riders in the PRCA in 2022 took the top two places in bull riding. Reigning world champion Stetson Wright made the night’s first successful ride on 4L & Diamond S Rodeo’s bull Dances With Monsters to earn a score of 87.5 points. After a few other riders hit the dirt, 2022 reserve world champ Josh Frost tried his luck on Rafter G Rodeo’s High Brow Cat. Frost’s 90.5-point score gave him the FWSSR signature square trophy buckle. He took home $23,787. Wright added $18,347 in bull riding money to his winnings, boosting his total from Fort Worth to nearly $41,500.

The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is the biggest rodeo so far in the 2023 season. It is one of the big indoor rodeos that can jump start a contestant’s year. Plans are underway for the 127^th Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo which will start on January 12 of 2024.

Celebrated entertainer will officially retire from his entertainer role at PBR World Finals in Fort Worth, May 12-21

Pueblo, Colo. (February 2, 2023) – Flint Rasmussen, the official entertainer of PBR since 2006, has announced he will retire from his on-the-dirt role at the end of the 2023 Unleash The Beast season. Rasmussen will join the sport’s television broadcast as a commentator for the PBR Team Series season that begins later this year.

Rasmussen, one of the most recognizable and enduring personalities across professional sports even while not competing in the events, is credited with reinventing and modernizing the role of “rodeo clown” into a multi-hyphenate entertainer combining singing, dancing, fan interactions, off-the-cuff commentary, and impromptu comedy.

After embarking on a farewell tour during the remaining 14 events of the Unleash The Beast regular season, Rasmussen’s final elite series performances will be at the PBR World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas May 12 – 21.

A special “retirement party” will be held for Rasmussen in conjunction with PBR’s “Dirty 30 Anniversary Celebration” on May 17 in Fort Worth during PBR World Finals.

Fans can then expect to see him in roles both in front of and behind the camera, including PBR Team Series coverage on CBS Television Network, CBS Sports Network, and Pluto TV later this year.

“I am a blessed man,” Rasmussen said. “I have had an amazing career in rodeo and continued to find my identity with the opportunities afforded me by the PBR. I worked my first World Finals in 1997, so I do not take this decision lightly, nor am I making it without being completely sure. But physically and emotionally, it is time to move on. Making the decision now gives me time to weigh all my future career opportunities, including joining the television broadcast of the PBR Team Series later this year. My goal is to continue to be a strong influence in the growth and preservation of our Western lifestyle.”

With a string of markets important to Rasmussen’s career coming up on the PBR Unleash The Beast schedule, including Sacramento in Northern California this weekend, the award-winning entertainer wanted to announce his plans now to acknowledge and thank the fans for their supportive role in his legendary career.

“More than anything, on behalf of the entire Western Sports industry, I want to thank Flint for bringing joy to millions of fans, for always being a thoughtful advocate of our PBR brand and for his countless contributions to our sport inside and outside of the arena,” said PBR Commissioner and CEO Sean Gleason. “He is leaving the dirt but not our sport. We are all fortunate in being able to continue to experience Flint’s love of our sport, his passion for entertaining fans, and his inimitable point of view, which is part of the soul of PBR, on future CBS broadcasts.”

In addition to his role at PBR, Flint is an eight-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Clown of the Year and eight-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo barrel man.

Since 2006, Rasmussen has been the master of ceremonies, on-dirt quarterback, sultan of sarcasm and chief instigator of both the mischief and the unfiltered musings playing out across PBR events. The former schoolteacher done up in clown makeup has been patrolling the dirt as if it’s the maple wood stage floor of Carnegie Hall and making jokes that sound like Eddie Murphy crossed with Larry the Cable Guy.

Before he joined the gold standard for entertainment in Western sports, Flint had always been funny, but unlike so many bull riders who knew exactly what they wanted to be from the time they could walk, he didn’t grow up planning for life clowning in the rodeo, let alone reinventing the role.

In his hometown of Choteau, Montana he wasn’t a show-off or the class clown. But he liked to have fun and get a reaction. A collection of his mother Tootie’s old Christmas letters sent out annually in the late 1970s has a recurring theme: “Flint still entertains us.”

He was a regular in school plays and sang in the choir, getting a taste of adulation from an appreciative audience and feeling a constant “pull” to be in front of crowds performing. Growing up in the Western culture, there was always place drawing crowds eager to be entertained – rodeo.

When Flint was 19, during the summer, first on a dare, he began working amateur rodeos in Montana, getting nervous like he did as an all-state high school football player, but having an absolute ball in making people smile and laugh. He was no longer an athlete. But being out on the dirt performing in front of people during a rodeo competition was scratching an itch. It felt good. It was fun.

Flint treated rodeo like a summer job; the plan was to get through college and then teach. After graduating University of Montana Western, he landed a job teaching high school math and history. But he kept getting phone calls. Rodeo organizers who had caught his act saw potential. Promoters know their crowds, and he was busting them up. This Flint Rasmussen character just might make a name for himself if he gave it a chance, they said. He quit teaching school at 25 and began performing at professional rodeos.

During one slow period in the fall, a rodeo in Hibbing, Minnesota called. Their regular rodeo clown couldn’t make the event because his trailer caught fire on the highway. Could Rasmussen come?

Flint did his thing, impressing one of the stock contractors, who recommended him to legendary rodeo promoter, Jerome Robinson, who happened to be planning a few winter shows. Robinson was producing PBR’s first events in the 1990’s and used Rasmussen there as well. One man’s very unlucky trailer fire lit the fuse, so to speak, for Rasmussen’s rise. But truth be told, with the simmering powder already in place, it’s hard to imagine he would not have been “discovered’ to play much bigger stages.

Rasmussen’s next stage will be the television cameras beaming an international broadcast of a sport he continues to love for fans he’ll continue to entertain.

CHARLES “BUD” TOWNSEND, age 93, of Canyon, Texas, passed away January 21, 2023. He was born November 5, 1929 in Nocona, Texas and grew up on his grandfather’s farm.  In his youth he and his friends rode steers but he only won 2^nd one time.  His rodeo competition was brief.   Bud enjoyed mimicking the rodeo announcers to his young friends.  When an announcer did not show up at a Ringgold Texas rodeo his friends urged him to volunteer.  He announced on a crystal microphone which would stop working if it got too hot.

His professional rodeo announcing career began in 1946 when he was 16.  For the next 50 years he announced rodeos for Bobby Estes, Homer Todd, Cotton Rosser, Beutler Brothers, Everett Colborn, the Steiners and Walt Alsbaugh.  At Rodeo Cowboy Association conventions he booked rodeos from Fort Worth, TX to Omak, WA; Greeley, CO to Belle Fourche, SD; Ponca City, OK to North Carolina and the Deep South.

Bud continued his education, attending Midwestern State at Wichita Falls, TX, Baylor University and received his PhD in history from the University of Wisconsin.  He became professor of history  at West Texas A & M in Canyon, as well as Texas Tech and Hardin Simmons.  He spent 27 years at West Texas A&M, and retired Professor Emeritus.  He always said he learned to teach history, in such a way his students enjoyed learning, from his time spent in rodeo during summers.

 

He married Mary Smith before she graduated from high school but she never quit learning.         Mary received her Master’s degree and taught school.   They had three children, Bill, Mary and Charles.  When Bud and Mary retired they traveled the world, including horse races at Saratoga, New York.

Bud was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth; received an American Cowboy Culture ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ and ‘All Around Cowboy Award’  in Lubbock;  Rodeo Historical Society’s Rodeo Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City; and The Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth.  He also received Canyon’s Man of the Year honor in 2019.

He won the 1975 Wrangler Book Award at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for his book, “San Antonio Rose, The Life and Music of Bob Wills”.  He also won a Grammy for his album notes, “Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: For the Last Time”.  Bud continued to interview western musicians and collecting their stories.  He also announced at the Lubbock Cowboy Symposium for years.  His memory of his rodeo experiences never failed him and his speaking engagements never ceased.

Bud was preceded in death by his wife, Mary, and his son, Charles ‘Buddy’ Townsend Jr.

He is survived by his son, Dr. Bill Townsend and wife, Dr. Janet Townsend of Canyon, TX; daughter Dr. Mary Townsend and husband, Dr. Michael Guttenplan of Scottdale, AZ; and Cindy Townsend Aycock, surviving wife of Charles ‘Buddy’ Townsend;  seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.  Memorials can be made to the Charles R. and Mary Townsend Scholarship at West Texas A&M  University.  WTAMU Foundation, WTAMU Box 766, Canyon TX 79016-0001.

Funeral Services were held Thursday, January 26^th at 2 PM at Crossroads Country Church, 14425 Farm to Market Road 1541, Amarillo, TX 79118.  Burial will be in the family plot at Dreamland Cemetery in Canyon.

AUSTIN, TEXAS— Rodeo Logistics today announced that they have acquired the IPRA (International Professional Rodeo Association). The acquisition brings together two companies that share a passion for expanding the sport of rodeo and improving rodeo athlete’s lives through innovation and long-term thinking.

 

Over the past 65 years, the IPRA has become the sport’s second-largest professional rodeo association sanctioning over 400 rodeos annually. The IPRA has a membership base of over 2,700 members and currently sanctions rodeos across the United States and Canada.

 

“Since opening our doors, It’s been our mission to create the best experience for rodeo athletes and producers through technology,” said Rodeo Logistics CEO, Gary McKinney. “By working with the IPRA and integrating technology in several key areas, we can change the landscape of rodeo for athletes and producers, and fans. This acquisition is part of our commitment to the future of rodeo.”

 

Since its inception, Rodeo Logistics has been a market leader, having launched industry-disrupting technologies such as; The Virtual Rodeo Qualifier, Open Stalls, Rodeo Entry Tool, and PBR’s (Professional Bull Riders) Mechanical Bull Rider. In mid-December, Rodeo Logistics also announced they acquired a majority interest in EquiTech Holdings and RopeMetrics, merging the top three technology firms operating in the Western Sports landscape.

 

McKinney also noted that Yerigan will continue to manage the day-to-day business of the IPRA.

 

“We are very proud of what the IPRA has built over the last 65 years,” said IPRA General Manager, Dale Yergian. “While the IPRA has grown and flourished during this period, the board of directors of the IPRA, together with Rodeo Alliance, have determined that the IPRA and its members will benefit immensely from this acquisition. Under its leadership, we believe Rodeo Logistics will grow and enhance the IPRA immediately and far into the future.”

 

“We expect that IPRA members will be able to use Rodeo Logistics’ technologies once this acquisition is complete,” said Yerigan. “Rodeo Logistics offers not only mobile rodeo entry capabilities but also event management, stall, and RV reservation capabilities as well as several other online conveniences. This will only benefit the IPRA as a whole.”

 

Here’s what will be new and what IPRA Members can expect as the companies integrate:

 

• Increase prize money and stock leases at the IFR54 (January 2024).
  • Increase the payoff to $500,000 and increase the riding event stock lease to $1,000 per head in the first year following the acquisition. Creating an increase of over $250,000 that will directly benefit IPRA members.
• Access to all the latest technology to make it easier and more efficient to operate in the IPRA for athletes, contractors/producers, committees, and personnel.

 

Founded in 1957 by two rodeo promoters, the Interstate Rodeo Association, IRA, was formed as a rodeo management organization and a sanctioning body. Concerned with expansion west of the Mississippi River, this new group’s primary interest was to enhance rodeo’s credibility with the news media in the east, where fly-by-night rodeos and Wild West Shows and unregulated contests had done much to discredit the sport. The word “Professional” was officially added to the association’s name in 1983 giving birth to the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls in the International Professional Rodeo Association.

 

About Rodeo Logistics: The Austin, Texas based company is taking a different approach to the rodeo industry. Historically, the orchestration of rodeo was led by organizing bodies developing processes for their own business needs independently. Uniquely, Rodeo Logistics is developing its products with the enormous capacity to serve every level of rodeo competition and everyone in the ecosystem including; organizers, athletes, secretaries, committees, producers, promoters and contractors.

 

About IPRA: From big cities to small towns, from major league stadiums to portable arenas, the IPRA has become the sports second largest professional rodeo association sanctioning nearly 300 rodeos. The IPRA has a membership base of over 2,700 members and currently sanctions rodeos across the United States. In the last few years the IPRA has also become a powerhouse in Canada sanctioning 40 rodeos there as well.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 28, 2023)—No one had more success in Bracket 5 of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo’s ProRodeo Tournament than Kade Bruno of Challis, Idaho.

The saddle bronc rider is coming off his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualification where he finished the 2022 season in 11^th place. He’s already inside the top fifteen for 2023, and a win here could give him a big boost.

Bruno won round 1 of Bracket 5 Friday night. Then he came back Saturday morning and won again. On Saturday, it was the horse named Utopia from Stace Smith Pro Rodeo that got him the win. When the judges added up their scores, he had 85.5 points beside his name. That put him at the top of the leaderboard and earned him $1,760 for the second time in a row. Most importantly, it put him on the list of those advancing to the semifinals here.

Also winning round 2 of this bracket was Rocker Steiner who lives just west of Fort Worth in Weatherford. Steiner rode Stace Smith Pro Rodeo’s Betty’s Boy for 87. The $1,760 that he earned Saturday morning gave him a total of $3,080 earned here so far. He also is advancing to the semifinals.

There are just two brackets of competition left in this year’s rodeo. Bracket 6 starts Saturday night at 7:30. It will finish on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday’s competition features Bracket 7. The Wildcard round starts on Wednesday and Semifinals will be Thursday and Friday. At each level of the tournament, competitors start with a clean slate hoping to advance to Saturday night’s Finals where the champions will be crowned.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 25, 2023)—There are several reasons that the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) was selected as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Large Indoor Rodeo of the Year, and one of those is the animals.

The rodeo also received the 2022 Remuda Award because of the livestock that was featured in competition in Dickies Arena. This year’s rodeo draws 20 different stock contractors from across North America who bring their best to be part of the $1.2 million FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament.

With the animals and the cowboys getting scores in bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding, it’s important to have bucking stock that provide the best opportunity. Tanner Butner from Daniel, Wyoming has been on both sides of the equation and was really excited to be on the top here on Tuesday night.

Butner, who is coming off his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) was the saddle bronc riding star of Bracket 3. He was the last man to ride on Wednesday night and moved high on the top of the leaderboard with an outstanding ride aboard Andrews Rodeo Company’s horse named All or Nothin’. Not only did he win first place; he added his name to the history books with a 94-point ride setting an FWSSR record for the highest marked ride in the history of the rodeo.

Butner failed to cash in during Tuesday night’s first round, but by virtue of his performance on Wednesday, he will be back in Fort Worth for the semifinals. Butner’s traveling partner, Sage Newman from Melstone, Montana, finished at the top of the bracket after getting two second-place finishes. Newman won $2,640 in the bracket. Butner finished second with $1,760.

The stars of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association were at the top of the leaderboard for the second night in a row. Kelsie Domer, last year’s Fort Worth breakaway roping champion, finished in first place in both rounds. She has earned $3,520 here so far and will advance to the semifinals.

Domer, of Dublin, Texas, finished 20^th in the world last year, thanks in part to a FWSSR win. She competed through May of the 2022 season, but then stayed home preparing for the birth of her and husband Ryan Domer’s first child, Oaklynn, who arrived in August.

Jordon Briggs won this rodeo in 2009 and is on pace to do it again. The Tolar, Texas, resident finished first in both rounds with times of 16.58 and 16.47 respectively. She also has earned $3,520 and will advance to the semifinals.

Korbin Rice, from Hobbs, New Mexico, and Reed Lewis Boos, from White Cloud, Kansas, have not made it to the NFR, and are not the most well-known team ropers in the field. That could change. They qualified for the FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament by winning the Johnson County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo in Cleburne, Texas, last June. Being the new kids on the block didn’t faze them one bit.

With Rice doing the heading and Boos heeling, they stopped the clock in 5.4 seconds in round one, good for third place. They finished second in round 2 with a 6.6. Qualifying to compete here was a big step. Now they are taking the next step toward the championship by advancing to the semifinals with $2,200 won.

Bracket 4 starts in Dickies Arena on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 23, 2023) The fourth performance of the 15-day, $1.2 million Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) ProRodeo Tournament started with a record-setting performance in the bareback riding. Kaycee Feild of Genola, Utah, the six-time world champion, has won the signature square bareback riding trophy buckle as the champion of the Fort Worth rodeo five times.

His most recent win was last year when he broke the record for the highest bareback riding score ever recorded in Fort Worth – 93 points. This year he has dominated Bracket 2, winning the first round Sunday afternoon with a 90-point ride, then tying his own arena record Monday night with a 93-point effort on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s horse Night Crawler. He will continue his quest for another FWSSR bareback riding title when he returns for the Semi-finals February 2-3.

“This rodeo is legendary,” Feild said. “To come here and have a horse like that —she’s amazing. She just bucks harder with every jump.”

Marcus Theriot of Lumberton, Mississippi, and his partner Cole Curry of Liberty, Mississippi, roped a berth in the Semi-Finals by dominating Bracket 2 of team roping. The duo won round one on Sunday with a 4.9-second run. On Monday night they tied with Canadian brothers Dawson and Dillon Graham for first in round 2.

Theriot was the last athlete to be named all-around cowboy here. He earned the honor in 2019, the last year the rodeo was held in Will Rogers Coliseum. Since the event moved to Dickies Arena, no individual cowboy has won money in more than one event, which means no all-around winner.

Joining the Mississippians in the Semi-Finals are Texans Casey Tew and Boogie Ray. Ray, a former NFR qualifier who doesn’t travel nationally much anymore, qualified to compete here by winning the Hood County Stampede Rodeo in Granbury last season.

For the second consecutive round of Bracket 2 only one bull rider made a qualified ride. This time Jestyn Jax Woodward of Custer, South Dakota, scored 86.5 points on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s bull Outlaw and won $4,400. He advanced to the Semi-finals along with Missouri’s Jack Gilmore who was the only successful rider on Sunday.

The FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament features 56 competitors (56 teams in team roping) in each event, divided into seven brackets of eight. Individuals qualify by finishing the 2022 season in the top 50 of the world championship standings or winning one of six qualifying rodeos in Texas.

Contestants in each bracket compete in two rounds of back-to-back action. The top two money earners per bracket in each event advance to one of two semi-finals while the third-highest money winner advances to the Wild Card round. Those finishing lower than third go to the non-qualifier pool. The highest remaining money earner in  each event in the non-qualifier pool after all brackets are completed advances to the wild card round.

The top two in the wild card round advance to the semifinals and the top four from each semifinal advance to the finals on February 4.

The FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament continues at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday with a new group of contestants competing in Bracket 3 at Dickies Arena.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 22, 2023) Jack Gilmore of Ironton, Missouri, was the biggest winner on Sunday at the $1.2 million Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) ProRodeo Tournament.

As the only bull rider to earn a score, Gilmore took home the entire $4,400 pot in round one of Bracket 2 for his 89.5-point ride on Rafter G Rodeo’s bull Megalomanic.

The 20-year-old bull rider finished sixth in the rookie standings in his event last year and has a good start early in the 2023 season as he’s currently ranked fourth in the world championship standings of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).

The FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament features 56 competitors (56 teams in team roping) per event, divided into seven brackets of eight.

Contestants in each bracket compete in two rounds of back-to-back action. The top two money earners per bracket in each event advance to one of two semi-finals so Gilmore is on his way as there is only another $4,400 to be won in bull riding on Monday night in round two.

          Gilmore is enjoying life, living by a Confucius saying later paraphrased by another Missourian – Mark Twain –“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

JJ Hampton of Stephenville, the 17-time world champion cowgirl, won round one in breakaway roping with a time of 2.0 seconds. Hampton and other veteran cowgirls blazed the trail for the women who are now roping for equal prize money at some of the biggest rodeos in the country. The FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament was the first major PRCA rodeo to offer equal prize money for breakaway roping when the rodeo moved to Dickies Arena in 2020. A big contingent of Hampton’s fans was in Dickies Arena on Sunday to cheer her on.

The same roster of athletes will compete Monday night in round two. The third-highest money winner of the bracket will advance to the wild card round while those finishing lower than third go to the non-qualifier pool. The highest remaining money earner in each event in the non-qualifier pool after all brackets are completed advances to the wild card round.

The top two in the wild card round advance to the semifinals and the top four from each semifinal advance to the finals on February 4.

Round two of Bracket 2 begins at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Dickies Arena.
