In the final weekend of the professional rodeo season, the focus was on the Governor's Cup in Sioux Falls, S.D. Although the payouts were huge and helped many athletes secure their National Finals Rodeo (NFR) dreams, not everyone "on the bubble" qualified for the Cup.

There are several very tight races in the World Standings and checks at other rodeos across the country will help determine who moves on to Las Vegas. For the athletes who spent the weekend crisscrossing the country to make every ride and run count, these checks are everything.

Only a few events remain before the season ends on September 30. The Sheriff's PRCA Rodeo in San Bernardino, Calif., will wrap up on September 28. In Stephenville, Texas, the Cowboy Capital Of The World PRCA Rodeo also wraps up on September 28.

For rough stock cowboys, the Duel at the Dunes will be held on the final day of the season. The top 20 in the World are invited to the $60,000 added event.
