But I rode the third one too and I ended up in second place.” The Cheyenne Frontier Nights two-day performance featured the top ranked bull rider contestants, who qualified on points earned during the regular season of the Mahindra Road to Cheyenne Tour, a twelve-month fourteen-stop televised tour that pays out over half a million dollars and concludes with the crowning of the sport’s new World Champion. Each night the cowboys cumulate points in each of the five rounds based on their qualified ride scores. These scores are added to their regular season totals. At the end of the CBR World Finals, there are two champions, a World Champion and an event champion, which rewards the bull rider with the highest average points from the two-day event. The national tour includes stops from Jackson, Tenn., to Las Vegas, Nev., east to west and from Huron, S.D., to Del Rio, Texas, north to south. The World Finals event also featured the “other side of the ride”, CBR’s Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge World Finals, which paid out over $699,000 on the Mahindra Road to Cheyenne tour regular season. The team of Mike Rawson and Jim Probst were the victors in the night’s finale with 292 points.
