While the action only lasts two days, arriving at The American takes a year’s worth of hard work. Prior to March 7th and 8th, there is an entire year’s worth of dedication by rodeo athletes as they travel from rodeo to rodeo to qualify for The Semi-Finals. The action comes together with the final performance, The American. Athletes from across the country and beyond will complete in seven high-action PRCA events. These events include bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc, team roping, steer wrestling, tie down roping, and barrel racing. Over the course of its qualifiers, Semi-Finals, and The American, RFD-TV will have a total payout of $2.35 million dollars, truly making it “the world’s richest weekend in Western Sports.”

What makes The American so unique is the opportunity for underdogs to compete against the industry’s toughest competitors. Anyone can qualify for The American through The American Semi-Finals. In fact, that desire to compete is so high that approximately 700 contestants compete for a shot at The American during the four-day long Semi-Finals. The stakes are high. Once competitors move on to The American, any underdog who out-competes the pros is eligible for an additional $1 million added to their winnings. Rodeo action will kick-off at 6:30pm on March 7th and 2:00pm on March 8th.
