What a night in Sioux Falls, as we saw some events that could never have been predicted. Again, some cowboys and cowgirls were able to breathe a sigh of relief in their position in the World Standings, while others felt heartbreak.

The aggregate on two rounds determined the top eight to come back on Saturday, where competitors will have a clean slate in the semi-finals. It is important to note that these competitors are all guaranteed a check, as 5-8 places in the semi-finals will receive $3,611. The top four in the semi-finals will return for a clean slate finals, which will pay all four places, including $30,000 for 1st and $22.500 for 2nd.
