Including Wednesday’s Wild Card, there have been 15 performances of PRCA action at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo so far.
That is a lot to keep track of, so to help, we put together a recap of every all seven preliminary brackets and Wild Card Wednesday to give fans a look at how we got to this point.
The Semifinals are Thursday and Friday on The Cowboy Channel and The Cowboy Channel+ App. The Top 4 in each event each day will advance to Saturday night’s clean slate Short Go to determine a champion. All performances begin at 8:30 PM ET.
