Weekly Recap

With only one month left in the 2018 season, the end of August brought $1.24 million worth of PRCA action as cowboys competed at 23 rodeos across North America, Aug. 19-26.

The fastest times and highest scores might not always make the record book, but they make a lasting memory for fans and competitors. With about 650 PRCA competitions across the Western Hemisphere each year, there are plenty of opportunities to make a memorable ride.

Although the prize money differs from one competition to the next, the judging remains consistent across the board.
