Southeastern Circuit Finals wrapped up in Davie, Florida sending many first time qualifiers to the NFR Open.
As the Southeastern Circuit Finals concluded, there will be several new names on the NFR Open roster next summer.
From each circuit, the top-two in each event qualify for the NFR Open. From the NFR Open the opportunities are limitless for contestants. This year, contestants that won the NFR Open that were not highly ranked in the standings had a realistic chance to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo.
The large purse at both the Washington State Fair, as well as the Governor's Cup in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, made the off chance possible for a select few contestants.
The Southeastern Circuit Finals was held in Davie, Florida and had three thrilling rounds of rodeo competition for rodeo fans to enjoy at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds.
