UNLEASH THE BEAST

The PBR brings “America’s Original Extreme Sport” to major arenas across the country with the nationally-televised Unleash The Beast, featuring the Top 35 bull riders in the world, in addition to the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour and Touring Pro Division, the PBR’s developmental tours. Each event pits the toughest bull riders in the world against the top bovine athletes on the planet during two hours of heart-pounding, bone-crushing, edge-of-your-seat excitement from the thrills and spills on the dirt to the rock ‘n’ roll music and pyrotechnics of the show. It is world class athleticism and entertainment rolled into one, unlike any other major-league sport. The PBR’s nationally- televised Unleash The Beast (UTB) features the world’s Top 35 bull riders going head-to-head against the fiercest bucking bulls on the planet. In 2020, the series opens at Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 3-5. It concludes in Las Vegas with the PBR World Finals on November 4-8, the richest event in the world, awarding more than $2.5 million in prize money, including the $1 million bonus presented to the PBR World Champion, who also receives the coveted $20,000 championship belt buckle. During a regular-season, two-day UTB event, each of the 35 riders will ride in one round each day - Round 1 and Round 2. Following Round 2, the riders with the 15 highest two-round total scores will advance to the championship round where they will each ride one more bull. For a standard three-day event, each of the 35 riders will ride in one round each day for three days. Following Round 3, the riders with the 15 highest three-round total scores will advance to the championship round where they will each ride one more bull. The average (or aggregate) score earned during an event determines a rider’s place in the event standings. At the conclusion of each event, points awarded to each place and during the rounds count toward both the event and the PBR world standings. The rider with the most PBR world points at the conclusion of any event is the event winner.

PBR MAJORS

Four events on the elite Unleash The Beast are considered PBR Majors – New York City; Los Angeles; Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Nashville, Tennessee. These events offer unique formats, bonus bulls, increased prize money and world points, and are broadcast on CBS Television Network.

15/15 BUCKING BATTLE

In several markets throughout the season, the PBR adds to the premier series events the 15/15 Bucking Battle, a special round of competition, featuring the Top 15 bull riders in the PBR randomly matched against the Top 15 bulls at the event. An additional purse and points are up for grabs. Although the points do not factor into the specific event’s overall outcome, they do count toward the PBR world standings. TELEVISION SCHEDULE

PBR VELOCITY TOUR

The PBR’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) began in 2014 as the sport’s premier expansion series, featuring young, emerging bull riding talent alongside some of the superstars of the sport. The PWVT brings the excitement and talent of the PBR that fans have come to expect from the leader in the sport of bull riding to cities across the U.S. that are not currently included on the premier series’ schedule. The tour is completely produced and operated by PBR, providing fans the highest quality experience available. In 2020, the Velocity Tour will visit more than 30 cities, including the Velocity Tour Finals in Las Vegas. Inking the deal in 2019, the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour will return to television in 2020, again available via RideTV. The PWVT is the primary and most important qualifying series for bull riders to earn valuable points needed to qualify for the Unleash The Beast (UTB), and ultimately the PBR World Finals. Additionally, every winner of a PWVT regular-season event will be seeded at one UTB event during the season, providing yet another avenue for the PBR’s emerging talent to increase their position in the overall world standings. The PWVT Finals will be featured as the last event of the season, taking place just prior to the PBR World Finals each year. The Top 35 riders from the PWVT along with qualifying representatives from PBR’s international territories, including Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico, will compete for the final five positions available at the PBR World Finals, making it the most important event on the schedule outside of the World Finals itself. PBR TOURING PRO DIVISION

TOURING PRO DIVISION

More than 100 TPD events around the world are sanctioned annually by the PBR, awarding almost $3 million in prize money. The standard one-day TPD format has 35 competitors; each will ride one bull in Round 1. The Top 10 riders advance to the championship round to compete on one more bull each. The overall event winner is the rider with the highest combined score on two bulls. Two-day TPD events will take up to 70 competitors, with 35 riders competing each day. The Top 10 riders each day advance to the championship round to compete on one more bull each. The overall event winner is the rider with the highest combined score on two bulls. PBR AUSTRALIA

Six different Brazilian riders have won a collective 10 PBR World Championships, most recently 2018 World Champion, Kaique Pacheco. Five of the past 10 World Champions come from Brazil: Pacheco (2018), Silvano Alves (2011, 2012 and 2014) and Renato Nunes (2010). PBR Brazil is led by General Director Philippe Menezes, with the help of Adriano Moraes, a three-time PBR World Champion, serving as Competition Director. The two currently preside over the elite Monster Energy Series, the country’s equivalent of the PBR’s Unleash The Beast (UTB) tour in the United States. In 2018, PBR forged a partnership with Brazilian sports and entertainment company IMM to expand bull riding’s presence in the nation. With IMM, PBR Brazil launched a new proprietary tour in the market with tentative plans to visit six cities in 2020 and as many as 10 by 2021.

PBR Canada operates two competition series, annually producing more than 30 events on both the Touring Pro Division and elite Monster Energy Tour. In 2018, the Monster Energy Tour achieved its first two sell-outs, with the Calgary event making history as the first ticketed event in venue history to accomplish the feat. In 2019, the tour continued to expand, holding a league- best 10 events, while experiencing a 36% attendance increase year-over-year. That season, after holding yet another sold-out event in Calgary, the Monster Energy Tour welcomed its first capacity crowd in Edmonton, Alberta. The Monster Energy Tour is also televised, viewed by fans as one-hour highlight programs on TSN. In 2020, the Monster Energy Tour is slated to visit 10 cities, making its debut in Regina, Saskatchewan, and Sydney, Nova Scotia.

PBR WORLD FINALS

The PBR World Finals is known as the Super Bowl of the PBR – a grueling five-day event that marks the end of the PBR season, determines the best rider and bull for the year, and turns one into a millionaire. The World Finals is the richest bull riding event in the sport, boasting a purse of more than $2.5 million, which includes a $1 million bonus awarded to the rider who is crowned the PBR World Champion. Each season, for roughly 27 weeks/events on the premier Unleash The Beast (UTB), and through the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT), Touring Pro Division (TPD) and the PBR’s international circuits in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico, bull riders compete for individual event titles and valuable points needed to qualify for the World Finals and ultimately become the PBR World Champion. For the past 26 years, Las Vegas has been the site of the PBR’s drama-packed season finale, held since 2016 at the state-of-the-art T-Mobile Arena. For five consecutive nights, the world’s Top 35 bull riders and the sport’s rankest bulls go head-to-head, each competing for World Championship titles and the World Finals event purse. During Rounds 1-5 held on Wednesday-Sunday, riders attempt one bull each. Nightly round winners are crowned and the riders gain points toward the World Finals event and overall season titles. After Round 5 on Sunday, the scores from Round 1-5 are added together to determine the Top 15 bull riders at the event. These riders then compete on one additional bull each. The competitor who finishes the event with the most world points wins the event title and $300,000. At the end of the World Finals, the points earned for the entire season are also added together. The rider who has earned the most points throughout the regular season and the World Finals becomes the PBR World Champion. Only five times in PBR history has the World Finals event winner and the PBR World Champion been the same rider. In 2004, Mike Lee became the first athlete to accomplish the feat, followed by Renato Nunes in 2010, J.B. Mauney in 2013, Silvano Alves in 2014 and most recently by Jess Lockwood in 2019. The World Finals points system was modified in 2004 to ensure that the PBR World Champion was not determined prior to the World Finals. This gave virtually every rider in the Top 10 a mathematical chance of becoming the PBR World Champion. A new points system instituted in 2015, made the world title race even more competitive by further emphasizing the most important achievement in sports – winning. The latest change implemented in 2020 increases the amount of points available at the season-culminating event by 4.3% compared to 2019. While fewer points will be available, compared to regular-season events, the World Finals’ importance was augmented. The event now offers 12% of the season’s world points, as compared to 8% in 2019. Below is the points system used to determine the PBR World Champion. (For more complete information on the points system, please refer to the Bull Riding Basics section of this media guide.)
