You can watch the round winners for each event here at rodeo up.

Curtis Cassidy still leads the world standings but will need to win several rounds now to keep it since he is right out of the average. Brother Cody is currently 4th in the average.

Dustin Flundra and Dusty LaValley are struggling to light up the boards. Lavalley has placed 6th 2x and sits 7th in the average. In the Saddle Bronc, Dustin Flundra hasn’t picked up a cheque, but sits 5th in the average. Lindsay Sears is 9th in the average now having tipped another barrel in round 6 with a time that would have split 3rd.
