COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 4, 2024) – The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association are excited to announce the return of the Wrangler National Finals Breakaway Roping presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka to the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Dec. 3-4, 2024.
The Top 15 WPRA breakaway ropers will compete for prize money of $300,000 in 2024 an increase of $50,000 from a year ago, during the two-day, 10-round performance.
In the joint announcement, it was confirmed that the 2025 National Finals Breakaway Roping will also take place at the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, prior to the NFR.
The South Point Arena & Equestrian Center has been the host of the NFBR since 2022.
General admission tickets are $30 each day, with reserve admission tickets available for $45 per day. Tickets can be purchased online at southpointarena.com or ticketmaster.com, by phone at 866-796-7111 or at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa box office. Tickets are electronic unless purchased at the box office or specified otherwise online or over the phone.
The 2024 event will begin daily at 2 p.m. (PST) with doors opening at 1 p.m. daily. Parking at the South Point Hotel and Casino is FREE.
“I’m happy to see the success and growth of breakaway roping since the inaugural National Finals Breakaway Roping in 2020,” PRCA CEO Tom Glause said. “Breakaway roping has experienced substantial growth and it is now featured at 500 rodeos annually. It is amazing that the breakaway ropers now have an opportunity to compete for $300,000 at the NFBR.”
The 2024 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge is Dec. 5-14 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Jimmie Munroe, WPRA president, is also excited for the 2024 NFBR and the future of the event.
“We are always excited to see growth in our Association and this is a great step forward for our breakaway roping membership,” stated Munroe. “We encourage all the fans to come out and support these ladies. This will be our third year at the South Point and last year produced three of the fastest times in the history of the NFBR with 1.7-second runs, so you can expect to see lightning-fast times from the best breakaway ropers in the world competing for a world championship.”
Breakaway roping has gone from being featured at 30 rodeos in 2019 to 500 rodeos in the 2024 season.
The South Point Hotel, which is a hotspot for contestants and visitors during the Wrangler NFR, is thrilled to be the event venue for the 2024 and 2025 Wrangler NFBR.
“We love having the breakaway roping and I have no reason to believe that this year will not be the best year yet,” said Ryan Growney, General Manager of the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “Having two days of the National Finals Breakaway Roping just extends the excitement of having the NFR (National Finals Rodeo) in Las Vegas for that many more days and gives fans that many more options to take in the entertainment that Las Vegas has to offer.
“We always call ourselves Vegas Cowboy Central but for those two days (of the National Finals Breakaway Roping Finals) we are Vegas Cowgirl Central.”
The 2020 National Finals Breakaway Roping took place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, in conjunction with the NFR and Jackie Crawford captured the world championship. In 2021, the NFBR took place in Las Vegas at the Orleans Hotel and Casino and was won by Sawyer Gilbert.
In 2022, Martha Angelone won the NFBR with $130,304. She earned $21,207 at the NFBR to cap her magical season.
Then, in 2023 Shelby Boisjoli-Meged placed in six rounds, including a share of two wins, and earned a NFBR-record $33,157 over the two days. She finished the 2023 season with $197,706 another earnings mark.
