COWBOY interesting facts and info… [edit] The sport The principles of bull riding are quite simple. A rider mounts a bull gripping a braided rope, and after he fastens the rope the rider announces he is ready. The bucking chute (a small enclosement which opens at the front) is opened and the bull storms out. The following few seconds are vital, the rider must attempt to stay on the bull for as long as eight seconds, while only touching the bull with one hand. His other hand must remain free for the duration of the ride. The bull, as a prey animal, is wary of having a strap tied to its midsection. Thinking it may be in danger, it runs about at high speed, bucking wildly. This process continues for a number of seconds until the rider loses his balance and falls off the animal or is simply thrown off the bull's back by the sheer force the animal exerts or unties after completing his ride. Each bull is given an individual name, and around 75 bulls, each judged to be of good strength, health, agility and age are selected to perform. The scoring system is also quite simplistic. As two athletes are involved in the game (the bull and the rider), both the rider and the bull are awarded points ranging from 0–100. Scores of zero are quite common as a lot of riders lose control of the animal almost immediately after the bull rages out of the bucking chute. However, many experienced professionals are able to gain scores of 75 or more. A score above 80 is considered excellent, and a score in the 90s exceptional. [edit] Points and scoring Judges award points based on several key aspects of the ride. A total of two judges have 50 points each to distribute among the rider and the bull. Judges look for constant control (See also: dallas cowboys cowboys cowboy boot cowboy bebop cowboy troy cowboy hat save a horse ride a cowboy gay cowboys cowboy jobs dallas cowboy cheerleader space cowboy cowboys from hell dallas cowboys ticket ghetto cowboy cowboy picture cowboy up co

For points to actually be awarded the rider must stay mounted for a minimum of 8 seconds, and is only scored for his actions during those 8 seconds. The ability to control the bull well allows riders to gain extra "style" points, these are often gained by spurring the animal. A rider is disqualified if he touches the bull with his free arm. For the bull, judges look the animal's overall agility, power and speed, its back end kicks and front end drops. Simply put, if a bull gives a rider a very hard time, a good number of points will be awarded. If a rider fails to stay mounted for at least 8 seconds, the bull is still awarded points. One special move the bull sometimes tries is a belly roll; this is when a bull is completely off the ground and kicks either his hind feet or all four feet to the side.
The PBR and the PRCA record a bull's past scores so that the best bulls can be brought to the finals. This ensures that riders will be given a chance to score highly. The PBR also awards one bull the "Buckin' Bull of the Year" award, decided by scores and the amount of riders it has bucked off. The awards brings a lot of prestige to the ranch at which the bull was raised. If a rider scores lowly due to a poor bull performance, some rodeo events will award the rider a re-ride option. By taking the option, the rider gives up the score received and wait until all other riders have rode, and rides again. This can be risky, because the rider loses his score and risks bucking off and receiving no score. There is also a chance that a re-ride will be awarded if a bull
stumbles or runs into the rodeo fence.
The PBR has embraced an event format that involves three to four rounds. Generally, events span two to three nights. The rider is given a chance to ride one bull per night. The total points scored by the end of the event are recorded, and after all riders have rode once on the final night, the top fifteen riders in the event are given a chance to ride one more bull. This round is called the "Short go". After the end of the short go, the rider with the most total points wins the event.
