Performances 1-14: Progressive Rounds

There will be seven brackets of eight calf ropers competing in back-to-back rounds. The top two money-earning calf ropers in each bracket (14 total) will progress to the Semifinals. The third top money-earning calf roper will advance to the Wild Card Round. The calf ropers who do not advance will be placed in a “non-qualifiers” pool. At the conclusion of Bracket 7, the top money-earning calf roper from the non-qualifiers pool will fill the eighth position in the Wild Card Round.

Performance 15: Wild Card Round

From the eight tie-down ropers in the Wild Card Round, the top two money-earners will advance to the Semifinals Round with a clean-slate format.

Performances 16-17: Semifinal Rounds

Tie-down ropers will each make one run in one of two performances with a clean-slate format. The top four calf ropers per performance will advance to the Finals. 

Performance 18: The Finals

The top eight calf ropers will run in the Finals with a clean slate (no previous times carried forward). On that day, the fastest calf roper wins the title of 2026 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo ProRodeo Tournament Champion.
