Twenty-four of the PRCA’s best calf ropers head to Puyallup, Washington, September 10–13 for the Cinch Playoff Series Finale, where a share of the $77,000 calf roping purse and a ticket to the Governor’s Cup in Sioux Falls is on the line at one of the last stops of the 2026 season before the top 15 is set.

The Puyallup calf roping field was built from the top 23 in the 2026 Playoff Series standings as of Aug. 24 plus the NFR Open event winner. The format includes two go-rounds back-to-back, a top-eight semifinals and a top-four finals, both happening Sunday afternoon. Every dollar won counts toward the 2026 world standings, which makes the stakes high for the calf ropers still fighting for a spot inside the top 15.

Puyallup format

Puyallup is two go-rounds run back-to-back, performance to performance, feeding a top-eight semifinals and a top-four finals. Contestants are seeded into the first four performances off their Playoff Series standings, with the NFR Open qualifier slotting into the No. 13 position.

The top four calf ropers on average time from each set—the first and second performances, then the third and fourth—advance to the semifinals during the fifth performance Sunday. From there, the top four out of the semifinals rope for the title in the finals, and the event champion is the calf roper who wins that four-round finals on Sunday, Sept. 13.

How does the PRCA Cinch Playoff Series work?

Puyallup is a Cinch Playoff Series Finale, and 24 tie-down ropers were accepted into the event: the top 23 in the 2026 Playoff Series standings as of Aug. 24 who entered, plus the event winner of the NFR Open. Should the NFR Open winner already be qualified or not enter, the spot rolls to the next highest-ranked contestant off the standings.

The bigger prize is a spot at the Playoff Series Finale in Sioux Falls. Contestants who qualify for Puyallup must compete here to be eligible for the Sioux Falls Finale; ropers who didn’t qualify for Puyallup can still reach Sioux Falls if they satisfy the Finale qualifications based on the Playoff Series standings as of Sept. 21. All prize money earned at Puyallup counts toward the 2026 PRCA World Standings.

Whose season could Puyallup make or break?

This is one of the final chances to move major money before the top 15 locks, and the Puyallup calf roping deck is stacked with cowboys who can win it. Riley Webb comes in as the defending Puyallup champion and is looking to do it again. He’s surrounded by a who’s-who of the calf roping world—Shad Mayfield, Haven Meged, Shane Hanchey, Cory Solomon, Hunter Herrin, Ty Harris and Marcos Costa among them—any of whom can turn a big check here into standings-race breathing room.

With $77,000 up for grabs and Sioux Falls waiting on the other side, expect the calf ropers still on the bubble to lay it all on the line in Puyallup.
