Just as the 2016 PBR Built Ford Tough Series is about the start the newly appointed Executive Competition Committee has revised the PBR world standing points system. These changes will go Ito effect immediately starting with the Chicago Invitiational.
Point System Revisions
At three-day BFTS events the event aggregate/average winner will be awarded 500 world standing point which is 100 more than at a two-day event.
In the past round points were awarded to riders finishing in the Top-5 of a round at BFTS event. Now points will be awarded to the Top-7 round finishers at BFTS events.
During 15/15 Bucking Battles (8 currently scheduled during the BFTS) points will be given to Top-7 finishers as well.
The PBR World Finals will now have more emphasis with round points being awarded to an extended number of placings. The Top-10 finishers in each round and the Top-10 finishers in the event aggregate/average will now receive points.
