The hot sun beating down on the rodeo athletes on Tuesday didn't affect the overall scores.
However, it did heat up the standings in the aggregate, with Wednesday being the last day for Pool B contestants to qualify for Championship Sunday.
As far as local Albertans and Canadians, all eyes were on the Saddle Bronc riders as former Champion Zeke Thurston is in the hunt for another Championship.
Thurston, from Big Valley, Alberta, is a 3-time Calgary Stampede Saddle Bronc champion.
2021 Bull Riding Calgary Stampede Champion Jordan Hanson, unfortunately, doesn't appear to be moving on to the finals as he's been bucked off twice over both days.
Hanson is originally from Okotoks and is a graduate of Foothills Composite High School but now calls Amisk home.
Today's the final day to make up some day money if they can't qualify for Championship Sunday.
