First I want to congratulate the new world champions, Clay Smith and Paul Eaves, for winning their first world title. Also, a big congratulations to all the champions of the World Series of Team Roping Finale. There was some life changing money won there this year, more than we’ve ever seen before. The #10 set a record by paying $376,000 to split.
