The NRBC board of directors is excited to announce the return of Paramount Network’s hit series Yellowstone as sponsor of the Rookie Shootout. The Yellowstone Rookie Shootout will continue a tradition of honoring the grass-roots competitors that help to keep the show going.

The Top 5 composite scores plus ties from Wednesday and Thursday Rookie classes will advance with no additional entry fees. In order to be eligible for the Shootout, exhibitors must enter both slates of Rookie classes. The Yellowstone Shootout final round will be held in the Great Southwest Equestrian Center Coliseum Friday night prior to the start of the NRBC Open Classic Challenge.

At NRBC, everyone gets a chance to win, and many get more than one chance. On Sunday, everyone who competed in both preliminary rounds of the Shootout except for Friday night’s champion may enter the Rookie Shootout Consolation round where another great prize will be given to the champion!

Yellowstone came on board as a sponsor in 2018, and after a successful season celebrating 5 million viewers per episode and ranking as Second Most-Watched Series in all of Cable television, the show starring Kevin Costner is back for season two and another Yellowstone Rookie Shootout.

Yellowstone is co-created by critically-acclaimed, Oscar®-nominated screenwriter and avid reiner Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, Hell or High Water and Sicario), and John Linson. It returns June 19th to Paramount Network. “Yellowstone” chronicles the Dutton family, led by John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.
