Each bi-monthly issue is sent directly to our Fan Club members
from the publisher in Alabama. There are 2 mailings for each issue:
The first is sent the 3rd Friday of the first month (e.g. Apr/May
issue would be April) to our existing Team PBR Fan Club members.
Please allow
ten days for USPS delivery. Fans who sign up for a Gold or Platinum
membership
after the first mailing are added to a list which is sent to the
publisher for the 2nd mailing, which occurs by the last Friday of
the second month of the issue (in this example- May). If you signed
up after the first mailing, please also allow ten days after the
2nd mailing for delivery, which should arrive by the 2nd week of
the following month (June). If you don't receive your current issue
based on this schedule, please call Customer Service.

As a fan club member, you don't get a discount on tickets. You do however get to purchase your tickets before the general public, which entitles you to better seats. On the other hand, seats are on a first come, first serve basis, so it does pay off to call as soon as we start selling tickets.
Because of the current setup of our current payment system, there may be a delay between when your tickets are charged and when your membership is charged to your credit card. Most of the time they are charged on the same day, but occasionally there may be a day or two between the two charges.
Unless you selected Will Call at the time you placed your order, you were charged $3.85 Priority Mail fee to have your tickets sent so that they will arrive at your Fan Club record address (or other ship to address provided by you at the time of the order) by the week of the event.
If you have not received your tickets by the Thursday prior to the event, please call the ticket line (719) 471-3008, ext. 3136 and your order will be placed on the Box Office reprint list for you to pick up at the Arena Box Office Will Call office before the event by presenting your photo ID. You will not lose your seats just because you don't get your tickets as originally planned.
Our booth space at events are reserved for national sponsors or local sponsors of the PBR event only.
At this time, we do not offer packages of this kind.

The most apparent difference is that the Ropes are pulled from opposite sides. The conventional rope is pulled from the riding hand side while the Brazilian rope is pulled from the free hand side.
There are also subtle differences in the way the ropes are braided. With a conventional bull rope, the loop (the knotted part of the rope used for adjustment) is on the free hand side of the handle while the tail (the portion of rope ran through the loop and back to the hand) is on the riding hand side of the handle. The Brazilian rope is braided with the loop on the riding hand side and the tail on the free hand side.
There is also a difference between the Brazilian and
conventional ropes in the design
of the handle. In a conventional rope the hand is placed with the
little finger tight against the free hand side of the handle while
in the Brazilian rope the web of the hand is placed tight to the
riding hand side of the handle.
The PBR understands that our fans want to be able to capture wonderful memories of their experiences at our events, so we have established the following criteria for the user of cameras at our regular season Built Ford Tough Series events:
As long as your personal camera does not violate any of the
above restrictions, you are welcome and encouraged to bring it with
you to our Built Ford Tough Series events.
Please note, the above information only applies to our Built Ford
Tough Series events. For our Challenger, Enterprise and Discovery
Tour events, you will need to check with the venue regarding the
camera policy for that specific event. These events are handled by
independent promoters, not the PBR directly, as each promoter may
have different rules governing the use of camera/video/recording
equipment at their events.
A qualified ride is 8 seconds. The clock starts when the bull's shoulder or flank breaks the plane of the gate and stops when the rider's hand comes out of the rope, the rider touches the ground or the rider's free arm touches the bull.
Four judges rate each rider and each bull on a scale from 1-25. Those points are added together and divided in half to reach a rider score and a bull score of between 0-50. Those numbers are then combined to reach a final ride score between 0-100.
The bull always receives a score, even if the rider is bucked off. His score is based on his degree of difficulty. Judges look for drop in the front end, kick in the back, spin, and direction changes.
A rider only receives a score if he lasts the required 8 seconds. Judges look for control - the ability of the rider to successfully counter the moves of the bull. Spurring is not required, but tends to demonstrate control, and can add points.
If the bull's performance is sub-par (negatively affecting the ride score) or if a foul occurs during the ride (the rider is rubbed against the chute, the bull stumbles, the flank strap detaches, etc.) judges can offer the rider a chance to take a re-ride.
Riders earn points at each Built Ford Tough Series event based on three things: their ride scores, their finish in each round, and for their overall finish in the event.
