At the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, Colo., the Colorado Vs The World provides a different take on rodeo. Cowboys and cowgirls in bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, and bull riding, are chosen from rodeos around the United States or Colorado and then compete against one another in this format.

Colorado rodeos: Denver, Elizabeth, Greeley, Colorado Springs, Estes Park, Loveland, Pueblo, and Wild Card (committee selection).

"World" rodeos: Ft. Worth, Tex., Rapid City, S.D., San Angelo, Tex., Austin, Tex., Houston, Tex., Calgary, AB, Cheyenne, Wyo. and Dodge City, Kan.

The invitational style rodeo has two Semi-Finals performances, one for the World contestants and one for the Colorado contestants. The top four in each event from each semi-finals come back to compete head-to-head as "Colorado Vs The World" for an eight man (or woman, for our barrel racers) showdown in the Finals. The top two athletes in each event then return for a Shootout in the Finals.
