The Crooked River Roundup gets underway June 22 and gives athletes a chance to compete for their share of nearly $200,000. Here is what you can expect as you watch the rodeo from Prineville, Oregon.
Format
The Crooked River Roundup is a simple format to understand. In roughstock events, the highest score on one head wins. In timed events, other than Barrel Racing, athletes compete in two rounds over the course of the three-day rodeo, and the fastest on two is crowned champion. In Barrel Racing, Cowgirls are given one opportunity to post the fastest time and be crowned champ.
