The completion of the two rounds of semi-finals at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo filled the eight coveted positions for the Saturday Showdown to see who will be crowned champion.

With World Champions, multiple-time National Finals Rodeo qualifiers, and rising stars alike qualified for the final round, the competition will be one for the record books.

Dickies Arena will be roaring with cheers from the crowd and newly crowned champions will be beaming with smiles when the competition concludes.

Team ropers Clay Smith and Coleby Payne have taken full advantage of every opportunity presented to them at Fort Worth this year. The duo is one of just two competitors with a chance to repeat their championships from last year, with Shad Mayfield being the other.

Smith and Payne had to go through the wildcard to advance to the semi-finals but nonetheless, they took advantage. Their 3.8-second run earned the win and the advancement to the finals.

The barrel racers in both sets of semi-finals have put on incredible shows for fans. With some of the most competitive and fastest times seen throughout the entire competition, one thing was very clear. Horses and riders had to be on top of their game to earn the advancement to Saturday night's performance.

Emily Beisel has dominated in her sets starting right at the beginning. Riding Ivory On Fire, aka Liza, Beisel won both rounds of Bracket 4 and then came back to win the semi-finals. To be on top again, Liza and Beisel will definitlely have to put together another stellar run. She will have to best Andrea Busby who has been on fire riding Born on Derby Day among many other very talented teams including the 2024 World Champion, Kassie Mowry.

The bull riding in this section of semi-finals certainly brought fans a great show. T Parker from Winnie, Texas brought the crowd to their feet with a 90-point ride on Sutton Rodeo's bull One Chance. Apparently that chance was a good one and Parker will move on to the finals after the win.

Two other bull riders stayed on top for the full 8-seconds. Familiar names, Roscoe Jarboe and TJ Gray both posted 88-point rides to split second and third in the round and punch their ticket to try for the championship.
