The event that we all have been waiting for is coming! At this years Calgary Stampede there will be a “bull extravaganza.” According to Maverick on the PBS board “It will feature Top 4 CFR riders, top 10 from the PBR, top 10 from the PRCA, plus 6 other guys. Lots of money to win, no entry fees, $1000 show up pay.”
For those of you who do not know the Calgary Stampede use to be one of the richest PRCA rodeos, however, the PRCA cut ties with the CFR earlier this year. As a result, Calgary is now a stand alone rodeo. The PBR has also taken steps to assure that all the PBR riders are able to participate by agreeing to allow stock holders to participate even though it is not a PBR event.
So I call that this years 8 Second reunion officially get moved to Calgary! I can not wait to find out the details and dates so I can try to rearrange my vacation time accordingly.

While this definitely won't show which organization has the better overall bull riders, it will certainly give fans a taste who may be the best at what they do.
It sounds like a heck of an event to me.
