Josie Conner secures No. 1 seed for Puyallup Playoff Series

The breakaway field for the 2026 Cinch Playoff Series in Puyallup, Washington, has been finalized following the August 24 points cutoff. Josie Conner has secured the No. 1 seed with 952.01 points, maintaining a significant lead of 174.88 points over second-place Danielle Lowman.

The top 23 ropers on points, plus one NFR Open representative, will advance to the Puyallup event scheduled for September 10-13. From that group, the top four competitors will qualify for the Governor’s Cup in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, from September 25-27.

While the Puyallup field is set, the competition continues with several high-paying Playoff Series rodeos currently in progress or scheduled, including the Horse Heaven Roundup Rodeo in Kennewick, Washington, the Kitsap Stampede in Bremerton, Washington, and the Golden Spike Rodeo in Tremonton, Utah.
