What to expect:

For one night, the best up-and-coming bull riders in the world will be battling the fiercest bulls the sport has to offer, according to event organizers. These bulls weigh in at nearly 2,000 pounds each.

During Round 1, each rider will face one bull. The top 10 highest scoring riders of the night will come back for one more ride in the championship round. At the end of the competition, the rider with the highest combined score will be crowned the champion.

The overall winner of the BDT season, which takes place all over the country, will be the rider who earns the most world points at the BDT level. That rider will receive $50,000 and qualify to compete at the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals.
