The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) announced on social media today that riders will be required to ride for 8.5 seconds to receive a qualified ride at this year’s World Finals, compared to the longstanding eight-second time requirement.
As of now, no announcements have been made as to whether or not this rule change will go into effect for any regular season PBR events or PBR Teams competitions.
The PBR World Finals are set for May 8-18 in Fort Worth, Texas. Learn more about the PBR here: https://www.pbr.com/
