PUEBLO, Colo. (January 22, 2008) - Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) administration today announced the first official 'cut' of the 2008 season. The purpose of the cut is to determine which 45 bull riders will be competing on the elite Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS). Upon the conclusion of every fifth BFTS tour stop the lowest ranked riders in the BFTS point standings are subject to the cut. They are dropped from the tour and replaced by the top five riders in the Copenhagen Bull Riding Challenger tour standings. Money earned at all lower level PBR tours - Copenhagen Bull Riding Tour, Enterprise Rent-A-Car Tour, Discovery tour and international tours - counts toward earning a spot among the 45 best bull riding athletes in the PBR. All 2007 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals presented by Wrangler qualifiers receive five BFTS events before they are subject to the cut.

The riders who were dropped from the tour following the Sacramento Classic in Sacramento, Calif. are Beau Hill (Columbia Falls, Mont.), Harve Stewart (Stephenville, Texas), Austin Meier (Kinta, Okla.), Silvanei Dias (Populina, Sao Paulo, Brazil), Jared Farley (Kempsey, Australia), Cole Taylor (Sayre, Okla.), Mark Lopes (Jackson, Calif.), Ned Cross (Midland, Ore.) and Davey Dyke (Fremont, Iowa).

The following riders, all of whom have been out of competition due to injury, will be subject to the cut after they have competed in five tour stops: Clayton Williams (Carthage, Texas) with two events remaining, Scott Schiffner (Strathmore, AB, Canada) with one event remaining, Billy Robinson (Galax, Va.) with one event remaining and Michael Riggs (Claxton, Ga.) with one event remaining due to their respective injuries. All 2008 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals presented by Wrangler qualifiers receive five BFTS events before they are subject to the cut.

The top five athletes who will advance to the BFTS by virtue of their achievements at the Copenhagen Bull Riding Tour level are: 1. Tyler Pankewitz (Warburg, AB, Canada) $19,139; 2. Vince Northrup (Davidson, SK, Canada) $16,553; 3. Jimmy Lathero (Fellsmere, Fla.) $15,560; 4. D.J. Domangue (Shriever, La.) $14,406; 5. Cole Taylor (Sayre, Okla.) $13,586.

The roster for the 2008 Built Ford Tough World Finals is determined according to total money won in the PBR. All tour alternates currently qualify to replace injured riders based upon their combined earnings from 2007 and 2008 in the Copenhagen Bull Riding Challenger Tour standings through the first 10 events. The next cut will be after the Baltimore, MD BFTS event on March 1-2, 2008.
