The Lineman's Rodeo attracts the best linemen from around the world to
compete in events based on traditional lineman tasks and skills. The first
Lineman's Rodeo was held in September 1984, with twelve participating teams
from Kansas and Missouri. The Rodeo has grown to over 200 teams and 250
apprentices.
The 2009 International Lineman's Rodeo registration information for teams,
apprentices and judges will be posted to this web site in May each year. We
are asking that you volunteer (1) judge for every (3) participants sponsored
by your organization.
Example: If you enter (2) 3-man teams and (6) apprentices for a total of 12
participants, we ask that you supply (4) judges.
We cannot have a successful rodeo without a sufficient number of judges for
each event.
We appreciate your support and hope your participation is a rewarding
experience. THANK YOU!!
