**PRESS RELEASE
REGARDING NBBA /
CBR
CLASSIC (3 & 4 YEAR OLD CLASSIC) FINALS
NBBA and CBR Join Forces for 2007 NBBA
Classic Division Finals
WHITESBORO, Texas
June 13, 2007 – The National Bucking Bull
Association proudly announces that the 2007 NBBA Classic Finals will
be held in conjunction with the 2007 CBR World Championships at the South
Point Hotel & Casino Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Nevada January 25-26, 2008!
The NBBA Classic Finals invades Las Vegas, as
the Top 25 bulls (by year-end point standings, with consent of the CBR
directors) will challenge the best bull riders in the world during the First
Round of the CBR World Championships! The Top ten bulls after the initial
performance will advance to the Second Round of the CBR World Championships
where the NBBA will then crown its 2007 NBBA Classic Champion!
“This is win-win situation for the NBBA and the
CBR” says NBBA President Marty Foutch. “We are both thankful and excited to be
a part of the CBR World Championship”. The CBR extended the invitation to the
NBBA Board of Directors after having stellar bull performances in each of the
first two Classic events held in conjunction with the CBR. “We have been
impressed by the quality of the Classic bulls the NBBA has provided to our
events thus far and we are looking forward to matching their top bulls against
the top bull riders at our World Championship in Las Vegas” said CBR COO Rusty
Creech.
The NBBA first inquired with the Classic bull
owners to determine whether or not there would be support for the proposed
Classic Finals format. “We offered the opportunity to the breeders/owners of
the Classic level bulls, and with their support, we have elected to move forward
and take advantage of this great opportunity with the CBR. I think it will help
everyone involved and is great exposure for the industry”, explained Marty
Foutch.
In addition to the Finals agreement the NBBA
will also be adding an additional Classic competition to the schedule that will
include the CBR event in Longview, Texas October 13, 2007.
The National Bucking Bull Association (est.
2005) is headquartered in Whitesboro, Texas. The NBBA will host or Sanction more
than seven Futurities, four Derbies and six Classic events in 2007, including
the 2007 NBBA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas. For more information or to join the
