Rough Stock Events

These are scored events in which a cowboy, using only one hand, must stay aboard a bucking horse or bull for eight seconds in order to receive a score. Two professionals judge roughstock events. Each judge awards up to 25 points for the livestock's bucking efforts and 25 points for the cowboy’s riding ability. The scores of the judges are then added together to determine the contestant's total score. A perfect score is 100.

Timed Events

In timed events, most contestants ride quarter horses and the calf or steer (in the roping and steer wrestling events) is always given a head start. Ultimately, these events are a race against the clock, with the fastest time winning.
