Effective Immediately, PRCA members that have been registered by CINCH with PRCA Properties for participation in the PRCA Patch Program as of August 17, 2018 are now allowed to wear CINCH branded apparel in a PRCA Competition Arena or at a PRCA Special Event, provided that such branding conforms to the size and locations specified in the PRCA Patch Program Rules. This modification is being made in accordance with PRCA Bylaw B1.2.6 and specifically modifies Part 1 Section II.F. and Part 2 Section I.F. of the “Rules and Regulations Governing Advertising in an Arena or Competition Area” (PRCA Patch Rules). Note that PRCA Contract Personnel Member Participants must still comply with Part 2 Section V.B. regarding conflicts with the rodeo committee’s own sponsorships.
These revisions shall be a part of the revised PRCA Patch Rules which shall be published on or before September 30, 2018.

Wrangler ProRodeo Tour Format
The Tour Standings will be a points-based system for contestants who place in all go-rounds (including the long rounds, average and finals) at each qualifying Tour Rodeo. Points will be distributed according to payoff placing. For example, if a round pays 12 places then first place will receive 120 points with each subsequent placing reducing in point value by an increment of 10. If a round pays 8 places, then first place will receive 80 points with each subsequent placing reducing in point value by an increment of 10. Contestants will be ranked in the standings from highest accumulated points to least accumulated points. If there are not enough qualifiers, the remaining tour points will not be awarded, except for Bull Riding, where the remaining tour points will be divided equally among the qualifiers. If there are no qualifiers, then no tour points will be awarded for that Go/Final/Average.
The 2018 Wrangler Tour Finale presented by Justin boots will take place in Puyallup, WA. The top 24 Contestants in each competition event in the 2018 Wrangler Tour Standings will qualify for competition. All fill positions will be taken from the next highest individual in the 2018 Wrangler Tour Standings. The Finale format will be a two go-round, back-to-back rodeo with a finals performance consisting of an eight-round and four-round. The winner in each competition event of the Finale four-round will be considered the 2018 Wrangler Tour Champion.
