ABBI introduces new 2018 Fall Yearling Series with 100% payback

Fall Yearling Series finale to take place at ABBI World Finals in Las Vegas

Pueblo, CO (February 7, 2018) – American Bucking Bull, Inc. (ABBI) introduces a new Fall Yearling Series that will include 100% payback and more than $260,000 in prize money.

 

“Due to the overwhelming response from the newly added two-year-old Futurity Series, we have decided to include a 100% payback competition for yearling bulls as well.” said Jay Daugherty, ABBI Executive Director. “This is another tremendous payout and competition opportunity for all our Stock Contractors.”

                                                                                                                            

There will be two mandatory regular season events prior to the series finale, each with a $300 side pot entry fee requirement. These two events will include $75,000 in prize money overall and determine which bulls will compete in the main payout and the non-winner payout during the Finale.

 

The series finale will be held at South Point Arena in Las Vegas during the ABBI World Finals in November with a payout of $187,500. All prize money will go straight back to the Stock Contractors and will be determined by the number of bulls that have been entered in the competition.
