The “Match of Champions” format:
There will be two Match of Champions ropings during the 2010 Northern Regional Championships held in Billings, Montana — a #10 and #8 Match of Champions. Each of these ropings is guaranteed to pay $5,000 for 1st in the Average! Plus, the top 20 teams in each roping advance to the next day’s roping with their fees paid.
The #10 Match of Champions will be held Friday night. The top 100 #5 headers and heelers and the top 50 #4 headers and heelers are qualified to enter this roping.
The #8 Match of Champions will be held Saturday night. The top 100 #4 headers and heelers and the top 100 #3 headers and heelers are qualified to enter this roping.
Both of these roping are 2/3 ropers payback, pick 1 draw 1, or draw 2 for $100 per man, enter 2 times for a total of 4 runs – and first in the average is guaranteed to pay $5,000 regardless of the number of teams.
Congratulations to all you ropers that qualified. The points from the Flagstaff, Arizona roping did not count in this Northern Region, but rather those points will count for the Southern Region and the Match of Champions at the Finals in March of 2011.
