The 2015 PRCA Permit Holder of the Year Challenge presented by RAM is set for 11 a.m. Dec. 3 at the South Point Equestrian Center. Tickets are $12. The event will be aired on wranglernetwork.com.
From 2009-2013, the PRCA Permit Holder of the Year Challenge/Roughstock event took place in Vegas, but the event’s format was changed in 2014 to include steer wrestling, tie-down roping and team roping along with bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Each event will feature two go-rounds.
The total payout will be $21,000 – with rewards for five places in each event. Each qualifier also receives a $500 stipend. Contestants do not pay an entry fee and will also compete for various other prizes. Below is a list of the cowboys who will be competing this year.
