Bull Ride July 17-18, 2009
2009 Season U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. Challenger Tour
The  PBR's
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company Challenger Tour is comparable to baseball's minor
league. It offers up-and-coming bull riders the opportunity to compete in PBR
sanctioned events while earning money to qualify them for the elite Built Ford
Tough Series.
Once the season begins, the World's top 45 bull riders have
five Built Ford Tough Series events at which they will compete to secure their
positions. After the fifth event, the bottom five riders ranked based on points,
are dropped from the Built Ford Tough Series. The top five U.S. Smokeless
Tobacco Company Challenger Tour riders, based on Challenger, Enterprise and
Discovery Tour money earned, are then allowed to move into those five
positions.
After this first cut, the elimination process then takes place
after each fifth Built Ford Tough Series event. A rider that has been dropped
from the BFTS must compete in the Challenger Tour, hopefully earning enough
money to regain a BFTS roster position.
Worth an estimated $1.5 million in prize money, approximately
30 plus U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Challenger Tour events are anticipated for the
2009 season. The PBR's U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company Finals are held each
October in Columbus, Ohio.
