2012 Big Hat Championship Series...

Each season Big Hat Rodeo creates a contestant awards series based on input from contestants, sponsors and rodeo committees. Contestants competing in participating rodeos earn bonus points for each rodeo they compete in and additional points every time they place in any event.

Participating rodeos and contestants alike have reaped benefits from the incentive program. Contestant numbers have risen at the rodeos and the contestants have received nearly $10,000.00 in awards annually.
