For the adult events, teams are made up of full-time working cowboys who represent their ranches and compete in events that reflect the day-to-day tasks of cattle operations. WRCA round one competition begins Saturday August 16th at 6 p.m. and round 2 competition will be held Sunday August 17th at 11 a.m. For all events, the contestants use traditional stock saddles in which the stirrups don't move.
