John Crimber is rolling: $40,348 added, bull riding #7
Seven days, $40,348, sits at #7. The math gets serious from here.
John Crimber added $40,348 to his PRCA earnings total over the past seven days. The Decatur, Texas bull rider now holds No. 7 in the world standings with $139,006 collected during the 2026 season. Two wins anchor his campaign record to date.
Cheyenne week is currently underway, marking the transition from Cowboy Christmas into the late-summer major rodeos. Top 15 in the regular-season earnings list qualify for Las Vegas when the PRCA year ends Sept 30, 2026. Crimber's earnings total of $139,006 builds a cushion over the cutline.
Late July dollars establish position for the upcoming autumn stretch. Major stops remain on the summer schedule, including Salinas, Pendleton, and Ellensburg. The Cinch Playoffs in Sioux Falls follow around Oct 2, right before the Wrangler NFR takes over the Thomas & Mack from Dec 3-12, 2026. Building a $139,006 bankroll before August reduces pressure during the final two months of regular-season competition.
PRCA bull riding officiating uses four judges for every run. Two officials evaluate the bull while two evaluate the rider, assigning scores from 0 to 25 points apiece. A covered 8-second ride gets an official score out of 100 possible points. Buck-offs get timed. Crimber turned those scoring opportunities into two victories during his 2026 campaign.
PBR competition features different scoring rules, utilizing tenth-point precision and a rider-to-bull variance cap of 3.0. Moving between PRCA rodeos and PBR events requires adapting to those distinct formats. Crimber continues to navigate both systems throughout the 2026 season.
Standing at No. 7 with $139,006 puts the Decatur cowboy inside the NFR qualification window. Seven days changed the numbers. The work continues through the end of September.
