Texas Rattlers Conclude 2024 Regular-Season No. 4 in the PBR Teams League Following 1-1 Weekend in Glendale, Arizona

GLENDALE, Ariz. –  As the regular season for the 2024 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Camping World Team Series concluded this past weekend in Glendale, Arizona, the league’s reigning Champion Texas Rattlers went 1-1, preparing to travel to Las Vegas for the Championship ranked No. 4. In Glendale, Texas’ standout Australian, Brady Fielder won the league’s inaugural Great 8 Award, presented to the rider with the highest riding percentage in the league.

Following a Friday night bye, the Rattlers began their time in Arizona with a Saturday night showdown against the then league No. 1 Carolina Cowboys. The league’s reigning Champions, however, did not have enough to get past Carolina, defeated by two ride scores 168.5-345.75.

The Rattlers returned with newfound focus Sunday afternoon, scheduled to play the New York Mavericks. Going 3-for-5, the Rattlers concluded the regular-season with a win, beating Florida by one ride score, 256.5-173.5.

While Fielder went 0-for-2 in Glendale, his dominant form from earlier in the season which led him to lead the MVP race entering the Arizona event, earned him the inaugural Great 8 Award, presented to the league’s rider with the highest riding percentage. During the 2024 season, Fielder went 24-for-34, covering a torrid 71% of his bovine athletes, beating Florida’s John Crimber (67%) for the Great 8 Award and $25,000.
