Welcome to the Junior World Finals
Presented by @YETI
Despite a difficult season that the world is experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Junior World Finals presented by Yeti will take place this December at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This event has been put together by Las Vegas Events Company. The company works with the event producers to bring in bucking stock from as far as the Pacific Northwest. The contractors specially breed these animal athletes to be a smaller version of what you might see in a PRCA event so that the contestant can get an authentic ride.
These finals involve young cowgirls and cowboys ages 7 to 19 years competing in their version of rodeo's biggest event. This year, however, they get an opportunity to ride and rope in one of their sport's most historic venues: Cowtown Coliseum in the Fort in the Fort stockyard.
The finals begin from December 3rd, with boys of all ages contesting through rough stock events, including bull riding, bareback bronc riding, and bronc riding. Up to 1100 spectators per day can watch young stars make their run from 7:30 am until mid-afternoon for only a $10 ticket.
The organization expected reduced numbers of contestants this year contrary to the previous year due to the pandemic. However, it has turned out the opposite as young people seem to have chosen rodeo at a time when recreation activities have been restricted. Due to the numbers, the Cowtown Coliseum will have special measures in place for the event, including social distancing.
Over seven hundred competitors from more than thirty states and four countries will vie for the Junior World Final buckles. To get to Fort Worth, the contestants will have to earn their spots through qualifying events put on by half a dozen rodeo producers who hold eight to twelve qualifiers per event throughout the year.
2020 Junior World Finals will host over 800 contestants within the Wrangler Rodeo Arena over the 10 days in December at in Fort Worth TX. Young Cowboys and Cowgirls will compete for a championship buckle.
