full 90 points? huh?
The scoring is actually based on a 100 point scale. 90 Points should be though of as a very good score, kind of like an “A” in school. A 100 would be perfect though.
Interesting, how do you know so much about rodeo?
It differs from certain events like such as PBR a 90 is very tough to achieve and the best you can get! I was raised up around ranching, farming, and arenas so dally up!
