Resistol Rookie Roundup 

For the third year in a row Resistol, in partnership with The Cowboy Channel, will host the Resistol Rookie Roundup, April 26-27 at 7:30 pm in the Fort Worth Stockyards Coliseum.  Sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the top 15 PRCA rookies in each event, in their first year as card holders, will compete for $100,000. The Cowboy Channel will produce and broadcast the event.  The first performance on April 26th will feature all 15 contestants in a single go-round competition. Then, the top eight will continue to the semifinals on April 27, with the top four advancing to the championship round in the same performance.  In addition to competing for $100,000 in total prize money, each contestant will learn skills in becoming a professional rodeo athlete and be able to compete with their peer group.  They will attend media training, Cowboy Channel interviews, sponsor training, and PRCA discussions.  Each will receive a gift bag of items from The Cowboy Channel that can be used to help them travel down the road during their rookie year.  The Resistol Rookie of the Year Award is one of the most coveted awards that can be earned by PRCA and WPRA members, as they can only earn it once in their career.
