The PBR announces exciting opportunity for bull riding fans
|
The new program will pay out $20,000 at each BFTS event to the winning team. The top 20 teams at end of the regular BFTS season will qualify for the elite PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals presented by Wrangler. The winning bull team at the 2008 PBR Finals will walk away with an astonishing $500,000 dollars.
“We wanted to create a way for someone who doesn’t have $100,000 to buy a top bull to still be involved in the bull business. This is going to give an equal opportunity to everyone -- to create a team and get a chance for a $500,000 payout,” stated Randy Bernard, PBR CEO.
The pay out for the first four places at BFTS events is as follows:
1) $20,000; 2) $15,000; 3) $7,500; 4) $5,000
The PBR will pay out the first ten places at the BFTS World Finals—giving $50,000 to places four through ten. The payout for the first four places is as follows:
1) $500,000; 2) $250,000; 3) $100,000; 4) $50,000;
Stock contractors will receive a percentage of the winnings and will continue to own and manage their own bulls.
The deadline to enter is November 16, 2007. Fans can enter by contacting the PBR’s Event Tours Department at 719.242.2800 ext. 3230.
