how to qualify
Below you will find associations and roping's that will be sending their champion to rope in Vegas. You must win the association year-end or win 1st in the roping. If the first place winner can not commit to their spot, we will drop down until the spot is filled. Should a lady double qualify, you will represent your event that was first qualified.
**NEW in 2026** The second way to qualify is to be on the Top 10 RFTC VRQ Leaderboard starting May 1 and ending October 18, 2026. In the event a Top 10 Cowgirl has already earned her spot, we will drop down on the leaderboard to fill all 10 spots.

If you qualify for Rope For The Crown, it is because you did it on an open women's platform. Examples of associations not eligible would be- NIRA or High School Champion, due to the champion only competing against their age competition.
