The final fight for the 2024 NFBR is taking place at the Governor’s Cup in Sioux Falls, SD, where two ladies outside the Top 15—TiAda Gray and Bradi Good—will attempt to breach the $72,802 mark that Sarah Angelone has set in the No. 15 position.

To make things even more serious, it’s not just Angelone that’s in danger. No. 14 Jordan Jo Hollabaugh could be bumped out of 2024 NFBR contention if Gray and Good deliver on Saturday.

Read on below to see how things could shake out tonight.

Where things stand as of Sept. 27

14Jordan Jo Hollabaugh$76,868
15Sarah Angelone$72,802*Includes approximate Stephenville winnings
16TiAda Gray$71,058*Includes guaranteed Sioux Falls Semifinalist check of $3,611
15Bradi Good$69,604*Includes guaranteed Sioux Falls Semifinalist check of $3,611

TiAda Gray and Bradi Good are both competing in the Cinch Playoffs Finals in Sioux Falls, SD, tonight, where they’re guaranteed $3,611. There are bigger opportunities, though—with the Final Four in Sioux Falls paying:

  1. $30,000
  2. $22,500
  3. $15,000
  4. $7,500

There will be a clearer picture of who’s in and out of the 2024 NFBR following the Governor’s Cup performance tonight.

Here are the possible bubble scenarios:

*Disclaimer: These are educated guesses made on unofficial earnings calculations.*

Scenario 1 — No Real Changes:

TiAda Gray and Bradi Good miss the Final Four cut in the Sioux Falls semifinals tonight, receiving $3,611 each for advancing to the semifinals. They’ll fall about $1,700 and $3,200, respectively, short of the No. 15 mark.

Result: Sarah Angelone and Jordan Jo Hollabaugh advance to NFBR.

Scenario 2 — Gray OR Good step up:

If TiAda Gray or Bradi Good finish No. 4 or higher in Sioux Falls tonight, (which will pay $7,500), they will overtake Sarah Angelone for the No. 15 position.

Result: TiAda Gray or Bradi Good will make the NFBR in the No. 15 position.

Scenario 3: Gray AND Good win big in Sioux Falls:

If TiAda Gray and Bradi Good finish at least No. 3 or higher in Sioux Falls, both Jordan Jo Hollabaugh and Sarah Angelone will be bumped down and out.

Result: TiAda Gray and Bradi Good will advance to the NFBR.
