Limited Classification
In an effort to continue elevating women’s rodeo, WRWC will now introduce the Limited classification. Designed for athletes that not yet classified as Pros or Challengers, but want the opportunity to compete at Women’s Rodeo World Championship.
The Limited will include Breakaway Roping and Barrel Racing (No Team Roping). An athlete competing in the Limited is not permitted to also compete on the Pro or Challenger leaderboards in Barrel Racing or Breakaway Roping.

– Dispute window: All athletes classified on the W25 leaderboard will have 2 weeks upon their first nomination date to email classifications@rodeologistics.co to self-declare if they would like to move to the Limited Leaderboard.
– If at any time a Limited athlete competes at a W25 Open or Challenger Qualifier Series event and wins the QS spot, they are automatically promoted to the Challenger Leaderboard.
All athletes that submit their first nomination are defaulted on the Pro leaderboard until their Limited or Challenger classification has been confirmed.
– Once an athlete has been verified as a Limited, they have 72 hours of being placed on the W25 Leaderboard to clarify if they want to be changed and compete on the Challenger or Pro leaderboard or once an athlete has earned over 100 points on the Limited, Challenger or Pro Leaderboard, they can no longer switch leaderboards.
