At each Qualifier Series event, the highest-placing nominated athlete earns a generic qualification to the 2026 World Championship Junior Rodeo (WCJR), regardless of their position on the WCJR leaderboard.
Athletes may only earn one (1) generic qualification. If the same athlete earns the top-nominated spot at multiple events, the qualification will roll down to the next highest-placing nominated athlete at those additional events.
