Canadian Finals Rodeo Calf Roping Format

The top 12 tie-down ropers in the CPRA regular-season standings each get five runs at Rogers Place. Each go-round is worth $29,488.46 and pays five places. The aggregate pays $44,232.69 total, giving the calf ropers $191,675 in total payout.

In Round 1, the field ran in reverse order of the standings, with No. 12 going first and No. 1 going last. Video review is in play this year, and a roper can throw the challenge flag on:

• Barrier infractions and failures
• Neck-rope fouls
• A calf that stumbles, turns or stops before the score line
• A legal tie
• A bad gate

If the call stands, the roper is charged a $500 fee.

The Canadian championship is decided by combined regular-season and CFR earnings.
