USTRC is excited to announce there will be a minimum of $122,500 added cash to the Regional Finals Gold Plus ropings this year. This means there will be at least $17,500 added to the roper’s pot in the #12 Gold Plus division (with a #10 Incentive) at each of the seven Regional Finals. Last year the results were amazing as the Gold Plus division at all seven of the Regional Finals were the highest paying Gold Plus ropings in the history of those seven events. If you have any questions, contact Gold Plus Representative Lauren Hardman at Lhardman@ustrc.com.
