A new “review system” will be implemented at this year’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, according to a statement released by the PRCA.
The review system will include six specific calls. Only calls made in the arena by ProRodeo officials will be reviewed. Non-calls will not be reviewed.
Steve Knowles, the PRCA’s Director of Rodeo Administration says the review system is a necessary step for ProRodeo.
“As access to technology has increased, it is vital that we adapt a fair opportunity for competition. The PRCA is committed to providing our committees the best resources to allow for the best competition, including embracing video review, when possible,” said Knowles.
The following six calls will be eligible for review:
- Contestant competing before breaking the plane of the barrier.
- Crossfire – Team Roping
- Livestock Infraction – Tie Down Roping
- Spur Out (Mark Out Rule) – Roughstock Events
- Barrier Malfunction – All Timed Events
- No-Nod – All Events
The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge will take place December 5-14, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
