Xtreme Elapsed Time Championshps (XETC)

All the latest talk is about this new competition of tie-down roping (calf roping).  It is building tremendous momentum with spectators and cowboys alike.  The rules of the sport are the same.  It is still an extremely athletic event which requres split-second reflexes from both the roper and the horse.  But in XETC shows, there are two chutes and two calves in one arena.  The ropers compete against each other head-to-head in a tournament style match.  This “win or you’re out” style generates amazing enthusiasm with the crowd and the ropers.  Not to mention the previously unthinkable prize money for which the cowboys are competing.  Every big name in the business shows up for the XETC competitions.

 

Watch for these exciting XETC events on TV.  The most recent XETC event held in Jackson, Mississippi will be televised on RFD-TV (channels 9409 Dish or 379 DirectTV).  Targeted TV schedule is:

Check your programming listings for other showings of this event. 

 

Tell everyone you know and remember to send a quick email to jdsucceed@yahoo.com who will forward all responses to major TV networks encouraging them to add more programming for events such as this.  The next scheduled live XETC event will be in Kansas City, Missouri May 20-22 for a purse of $122,000.

 

How does this relate to RopingArena.com?  XETC is the newest sponsor at RopingArena.com.  They will be sponsoring online prize calf roping events using TDRSim (see next section).  Look for a record-breaking summer championship at RopingArena.com.
