GoDaddy.com Invitational Presented By Cooper Tires
The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) whirlwind schedule brings the
world’s best bull riders and the fiercest bovine athletes to Portland,
Ore., for two performances – October 2-3 – for the GoDaddy.com
Invitational presented by Cooper Tires, stop no. 29 on the PBR’s
prestigious Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS). With only three regular
season stops left on the tour, the top 40 riders in the world are all
competing for not only the coveted Portland event title, but for their
chance to qualify for the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las
Vegas where a $1,000,000 bonus will be awarded to the 2009 PBR World
Champion.
During two nights of heart-pounding, bone-crushing action, fans can
look forward to seeing a star-studded line-up of athletes including
reigning Portland champ and 2008 PBR World Champion Guilherme Marchi (Leme, SP, Brazil); hometown bull rider and fan favorite Ross Coleman (Molalla, Ore.); Oregon cowboys Cody Campbell (Summerville, Ore.) and Cody Ford (Stanfield, Ore.); two-time PBR World Champion Chris Shivers (Jonesville, La.); 2008 PBR World Finals event champion Robson Palermo (Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil); current world no. 1 bull rider Kody Lostroh (Longmont, Colo.); and PBR superstars J.B. Mauney (Mooresville, N.C.), Brian Canter (Randleman, N.C.), Ryan Dirteater (Hulbert, Okla.), and “Titanium Tough” Luke Snyder (Raymore, Mo.) who holds the record for most consecutive BFTS events attended.
For as little as $10, fans will experience over two hours of the
world’s best bull riding athletes – cowboys and bulls. Performances
kick off at 8 p.m. on Friday and 6 p.m. on Saturday where ticket
holders will experience edge-of-your-seat thrills and spills, rock
& roll music, pyrotechnics, and the best bull riding action in the
world. Tickets are available in person at the Rose Garden Box Office,
online at http://www.comcasttix.com , or by phone at 877 789 7673 (standard ticket fees apply).
The GoDaddy.com Invitational will consist of three rounds of
competition with the first two rounds featuring the top 40 bull riders
randomly matched against the PBR’s toughest bulls. The scores from the
two rides will be combined and the riders with the top 15 scores will
advance to the GoDaddy.com Championship Draft where they will pick
which bull they will attempt during the Built Ford Tough Championship
Round which will be held immediately after intermission on Saturday. In
the end, the cowboy with the highest total score on three bulls will be
declared the winner!
