Championships
[edit]The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) All-Around World Championship is awarded at the Thomas & Mack Center at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, held every December. The PRCA competitor who wins the most prize money in a year while competing in at least two events, earning a minimum of $3,000 in each event, wins the all-around world championship.[1][2] All of the events for the NFR are held at the Thomas & Mack Center, except the steer roping, which is called the National Finals Steer Roping (NFSR) and is held at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.[3][4]
Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, currently holds the single season record for the most money won in a season at $507,921 during the 2010 campaign.[5] He also holds the record for most all-around titles with 14 from competing in the timed-events of tie-down roping, steer roping, and team-roping. Brazile holds a total of 26 titles altogether in roping events, another record.[6] Ty Murray, who is known as the modern day "King of the Cowboys" of Stephenville, Texas, previously held the record with seven titles, from competing in the rough-stock events, such as saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, and bull riding. He also holds two titles in bull riding.[7]
The International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA) All-Around World Championship is awarded at the International Finals Rodeo (IFR) at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, every January, along with the other world championships for the IPRA.[8]
In Canada, under the rules set forth by the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA), in order for a competitor to win the all-around crown, that contestant must win the most money and compete two or more of saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling or team roping. One of the two events must be a rough-stock event and one must be a timed event. The CPRA All-Around Championship is awarded, along with the other CPRA year-end rodeo championship titles at the Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR), held every autumn.[9]
