WCRA DY is a year-long leaderboard race of rodeo events worldwide, culminating at the World Championship Junior Rodeo (WCJR). Athletes can qualify by nominating their rodeo efforts and earning points for the WCRA DY leaderboard positions using the VRQ (Virtual Rodeo Qualifier). This includes representation from organizations such as the Idaho Cowboy Association and the Junior Rough Stock Association. Participants in events like Leal's Junior Bull Riding can also accumulate points for qualification. 

Since launching in May of 2018, the World Champions Rodeo Alliance (WCRA) and its partners have awarded millions in new money to rodeo athletes. Qualifying is based on points, rather than dollars won, through our world ranking points system.

The WCRA is a professional sport and entertainment entity created to develop and advance the sport of rodeo by aligning all levels of competition. In association with PBR, WCRA produces major rodeo events, fostering additional opportunities for rodeo industry competitors, stakeholders, and fans.

The Idaho Cowboy Association has been in existence since the early 1950s, dedicated to promoting the sport of rodeo. As a crucial organization, the ICA helps rodeos attract larger crowds and provides cowboys with opportunities to compete for bigger purses. All ICA-approved rodeos meet stringent standards designed to enhance the quality of the events, improve the talent of competing cowboys and cowgirls, and ensure the safety of the rodeo stock.

The Idaho Cowboy Association recognizes rodeos in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, with most events featuring an average of three performances drawing about 1,500 spectators each. Many rodeos held in July and August are associated with county fairs, attracting a wide array of agriculture and livestock enthusiasts.

Members of the ICA come from diverse backgrounds. Some are professional cowboys who follow a local rodeo circuit, while others include businessmen and women, ranchers, farmers, and horse trainers. The Idaho Cowboy Association has a well-established reputation for producing top cowboys and has served as a proving ground for many successful professionals in the sport.

The ICA hosts eight standard events: bareback riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, team roping, barrel racing, and breakaway roping. Each November, the ICA sponsors a year-end awards banquet to honor champions, All-Around Champions, rodeo committees, and sponsors. Notably, they also support initiatives like the Junior Rough Stock Association and Leal's Junior Bull Riding, which inspire the next generation of rodeo talent.

The atmosphere at an ICA rodeo embodies a spirit reminiscent of days gone by. Many of these events have become annual traditions where generations of cowboys have competed. For communities, these rodeos often represent the most significant and thrilling event of the year.

The Idaho Cowboy Association remains committed to promoting rodeo, a vital link to our Western Heritage and a source of some of today’s most action-packed entertainment.
