How the Mandan Field Was Set
The 36-man field is made up of the top 32 on 2026 money won as of seven days before entries closed, with no exemptions, plus the first-place winner from four Badlands Circuit qualifying rodeos who entered:
- Aberdeen, N.D. — Aug. 10–11
- Mandan, N.D. — July 2–4
- Deadwood, S.D. — July 21–25
- Rapid City, S.D. — Aug. 23–25
Money won at Mandan does not count toward Badlands Circuit standings, and the rodeo is not applied to a contestant’s required circuit participation count.
