JULY NOMINATION SPECIAL
The Virtual Rodeo Qualifier (VRQ) is offering a special promotion for the month of July for the upcoming Kimes Ranch Million Dollar Breakaway Roping, scheduled to take place November 24–30 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
How VRQ Nominations Work
Nominating through the VRQ platform ensures that the Rodeo Logistics team tracks your official results so you can earn leaderboard points and work toward event qualification.
Important: Nominations must be completed before the official start time of the rodeo.
Discounted Nomination Fees and Points System
As part of the July promotion:
Single-round PRCA, UPRA, and IPRA rodeos: $50 nomination fee

These events will also guarantee Division One points, awarded according to the Division 1 single-round rodeo point scale. Points are distributed to up to 10 placings, starting from 10th place upward. You do not need to win money or place in the top 10 to earn points through the VRQ system.
